[quote=Anonymous]One of my quickest meals is broiled salmon. I buy a whole side of salmon, usually from Aldi - it's the perfect size for 4-5 people. This is farm-raised fresh Atlantic salmon; the wild salmon you buy frozen doesn't seem to work as well because it's leaner. All I do is dry it off with a paper towel and generously salt and pepper it. You could add any kind of dry rub spice mixture, but I usually keep it simple. I put it in a 400 degree oven (preferably on convection/roast setting) for about 8 minutes and then just finish it off with about 2 minutes on high broil. Once it's browned on the outside it's done. I take it out of the oven and leave it to rest by cupping the foil I cooked it on around the fish and letting it rest while I finish the rest of the meal (it's still hot after 10 minutes). It ends up tender and flaky with crispy bits from the edges of the salmon. Since the salmon is very rich, I like it best with salads that have a simple lemon or wine vinegar & olive oil dressing and basmati rice. Often the salad is just a sliced cucumber with green onions and this vinaigrette. In summer I add garden tomatoes and sometimes I make a full salad with romaine or butter lettuce.
Salmon is also really delicious with lentils - you can easily cook french green lentils in 20 minutes - I season with salt, pepper, bay leaves and a teaspoon of cumin. [/quote]
