We go super simple - wrap salmon steaks filets in tin foil with sliced lemon, butter, salt & pepper - and toss them on the grill!

My MIL sprinkles thyme, garlic powder and salt, bakes or broils (I bake). Squeeze lemon juice over when done. Serve with horseradish sauce (little bit of horseradish in sour cream and mayo - it's better if you make this in the morning). My 3YO inhales this...

Mix coarse-grained Dijon mustard with honey, and a splash of Apple cider vinegar if you feel like it. Mix well and then slather on top of salmon fillet. Cook for about 18 minutes on 375 or until done to your liking. Honey = kid gobbles it up.

I skip the veggies and make my own recipes for sides, but this salmon is off the hook: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Salmon-Bulgogi-with-Bok-Choy-and-Mushrooms-242481

This is an easy one if they like pasta!


2 tablespoons(tb)butter
2 tb olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove chopped
3 1/2 oz tomato chopped canned or fresh
3 oz of smoked salmon cut into strips(or chopped if you are being tricky)
1 cup white wine
2 tb heavy cream
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tyme

Melt butter in pan with olive oil. Add onion and garlic and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes(do not brown). Add tomatoes and salmon, cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add wine, cook till alcohol has evaporated. Stir in cream and thyme, season with salt and pepper, heat gently.
Pour over 12 oz of taglierini, linguine, or fettuccine.

My husband makes some awesome grilled salmon with an apricot jam glaze that my kids love.

I think he just mixes a bit of apricot jam with a bit of soy sauce and sometimes garlic and/or ginger. The adult portions also get red pepper. Occasionally there is maple syrup involved, but that might be without the jam. In any case, he just brushes it on the salmon before grilling.

Google Mark Bittman's roasted salmon. Simple and tasty. During the summer we sprinkle it with dill from the garden.

Thanks...I'll try them all!

My kids love this seasoning on salmon. Plus, it makes for a super quick dinner. Sprinkle on seasoning and stick it under the broiler.

Grilled Orange-and-Bourbon Salmon

This easy grilled salmon recipe gets its sweet, mellow flavor from the marinade of bourbon, orange juice, brown sugar and soy sauce.

Cooking Light JUNE 1999 Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients
1/4 cup bourbon
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped green onions
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, chopped
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
Cooking spray

Combine first 8 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag, and add salmon to bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 1 1/2 hours, turning bag occasionally.

Prepare grill or broiler.

Remove salmon from bag, reserving marinade. Place salmon on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Cook 6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting frequently with reserved marinade.

This cedar plank salmon with apricot glaze ROCKS. Very kid friendly too if you omit the jalapenos.

My kids (and the whole family) love Ina Garten's Asian Grilled Salmon.

It's delicious.

My kids (plus me and my husband) LOVE salmon cakes. Honestly, I think I like them even better than plain salmon. Here is the recipe...I've made it with and without the sauce, and I don't put in the herbs/spices but put in extra lemon:

Do you have a salmon recipe that your kids love? Particularly grilled or kabob recipe would be appreciated.
