Please put me on your list. I just finished my 2nd week of Atkins and have lost 14 lbs. I've been eating fish almost every day, it's really been satisfying and it also helps with my arthritis. Your seafood recipes really look great! Do you have anything good for salmon? Thanks.

Do you have anything good for salmon?

Here is my favorite way to prepare salmon:

I usually buy one salmon steak (if you are cooking more than one, adjust time)
Wash salmon and put in microwave safe dish.
Cover with 1/4 inch of white wine
Salt and pepper to taste
Cover with plastic wrap
Poach (cook on high) in microwave for three minutes or until fully cooked (do not overcook)
Use wine to make a white sauce (I don't have recipe. Where is Carlo?)

If you like poached salmon, it comes out perfect, delicious, and doesn't smell up the house (guys hate that!)

Try this easy to fix salmon.

Run cold water over salmon filet and pat totally dry with paper towels. Place one filet per person on a cookie sheet with a 'lip' or on a jelly roll pan or even a large pie plate.

Cover salmon with a thick layer of mayonnaise...I use Helmann's...sprinkle with chopped tops of green onion and diced minced dried garlic. Bake at 325 for about 10 minutes and finish under the broiler till the topping is nicely crisp.

This is better with the dried minced garlic than with sauteed fresh, IMO...and very easy to do. Timing depends on the thickness of the salmon filet, of course.

Try this cold on salads or on rye krisp or Triscuits if allowed on your diet.
