Hi there

As the title says what is the best way to cook
Salmon? I have been given 2 fillets and
I'm not sure if I should cook them in a
pan or oven bake them.

TIA

We're really minimalist.

Put it on a piece of foil, pour over lime juice and add cracked pepper. Fold foil into a loose parcel, seal it at the top by folding the foil together and cook at 180 degrees for about 15 minutes.

I usually put them of a piece of foil, squeeze lemon juice over, fold the foil to make a parcel and bake in the over at 180 for 10-15 minute.

I prefer to oven bake.
My husband prefers them grilled.
I think it all comes down to personal preference.

When I oven bake I usually either use a lemon juice based recipe or a brown sugar - soy recipe.
When grilling I quite often used a curry paste.

My preference is seared on a BBQ or hot plate. But as long as you don't over cook it, salmon can be very nicely cooked in the oven, on the BBQ, in a pan or steamed.

Lately, I've used this recipe to steam salmon: http://www.food.com/recipe/steamed-salmon-...now-peas-185729

Thanks everyone, I will try them in a parcel
in the oven!

I pan fry them with the lid on so they end up like baked fish with a crispy skin. Gotta be very careful not to overdo them this way though, they go from perfect to dry in a matter of a minute or so!

I pan fry them for a couple of minutes on each side - so the inside is still quite underdone. Tonight I pressed sesame seeds into them first, then served them with soba noodles, snow peas and wasabi mayo.

Crispy skinned like this.
