The local supermercado has salmon at $2-off per pound, so I have been
eating salmon and have some in the freezer as well.

My typical routine... a little olive oil spray on the baking sheet, and
then bake skin side down after dusting with either a pepper mix or Mrs
Dash -- and then covering with Tiger Sauce.

The sauce caramelizes a bit, giving the fish a sweet/spicy/hot tang. I
haven't tired of it yet!

What is tiger sauce? The tiger sauce that I know of is sour cream mixed w
/horseradish...doesn't sound like we're talking about the same thing.

I don't know where you are, but there are serious warnings out about
"other country" (non-USA) farmed salmon; so I hope you are using wild
salmon.

Farmed salmon in the US is inferior, too. Whether it needs to be
warned about depends on how you feel about antibiotics, hormones, food
coloring, and the caged habitat. -aem

I've given up on salmon -- the Food Police have just scared me too
much. I just read that you shouldn't eat more than four ounces of
farmed salmon every FIVE MONTHS.

The only salmon that's okay is wild salmon . . . which is,
unfortunately, $18 a pound. Trader Joe's has it canned for cheap so I
make patties with that, but for a guy on a budget grilled salmon
fillets are, like the Dodo, ancient history.

TJ's also has smoked salmon, Portlock brand. I quite like the 'hot'
smoked, i.e., not the 'nova' smoked. It is expensive per pound, but
the packages are in the $6 -$8 range. A little goes a long way with
scrambled eggs and you can eat it with cream cheese on crackers and it
stretches out well without breaking the bank. -aem

Thanks for the tip! I went to Paris recently and ate quite a lot of
smoked salmon, never understanding why it was so cheap. One place with
an $8 prix fixe lunch had a fantastic pasta with smoked salmon in a
white cream sauce. I've been dying to try fixing it at home.

Aha. Then it is indeed Tiger Sauce, and is indeed different from tiger
sauce. Got it.

Thanks!

Don't buy things just because they're "on sale". Buy them for
what they actually cost. Figuring something is "$2 off" doesn't
mean it's a good deal. "$2 off" means nothing; in some markets
that just means they raised the regular price $3 while it's in
season.

Sorry, I'm just an anti-marketing type and careful shopper.

There are a lot of recipes for that, and it's great. I like fresh
fettucine, but you can use dried, and you'll find recipes that call for
penne or other shapes as well. Real cream is a must, and it's
noticeably better when you add butter and simmer the cream for a while
(7 - 10 minutes, say) to thicken it. A good way to start is to put
butter in a saucepan, add a little finely chopped onion and cook until
it's translucent. Then add more butter and 1.5 - 2 cups of cream.
Simmer until thickened. Toward the end of simmering add a small
handful of frozen peas. Take off heat and stir in the salmon and
parmesan cheese to taste. It'll take up to about 1/4 cup, in spite of
Sheldon's rant about no cheese with seafood. Mix with the pasta as
soon as it's cooked and drained. There are a lot of variations, but
this would be a good start. The ratio of pasta to salmon can vary with
your taste (and wallet) but I'd think that as little as 6 oz. of smoked
salmon would be enough for this much sauce, though more would be
better, and this much sauce is enough for about 12 oz. fettucine, or
more, depending again on how heavily you like your pasta sauced. -aem

At a Big Lots, a month ago, I found Portlock brand sitting there, smoked,
$7.95 a lb. It was no where near the expiration date. I was familiar with
this brand, living near Seattle for a few years.

Isn't the canned salmon Bumble Bee, Alaska Socket Red Salmon 'wild' salmon?
I thought it was/is.
I read sometime ago on their website that it is and the route the salmon
takes; a very impressive route, indeed.

The warnings I saw were about toxins, and it was recommended that
persons of young adult age and younger should NOT eat farmed fish more
frequently than twice a year or so. Scary. It supposedly is bad
because farmed fish are fed fish oil which is culled from fish in the
wild, without regard to their respective home waters. Substituting
vegetable oil, which is done sometimes, doesn't give the farmed fish
their high beneficial oils.

Farm salmon is an abomination. They also feed them dye -- otherwise
they'd be more gray than pink. If you can't get wild salmon where
you are, eat a burger instead.

Yes -- I always keep it in my kitchen. However, I don't like the Dragon
Sauce, although I may try it on some sushi...

mmm... getting my mouth watering for some salmon.
I usually buy a package of frozen salmon from costco.

What I usually do is take one fillet put a little lemon pepper, Toni
sacheries (sp?), homemade garlic butter, and 3 or 4 spears of
asparagus in a foil pouch (with a decent air pocket for steaming)
Put it in the oven at about 350 for 20 - 30 min (20 if asparagus is
fresh or canned, 30 min if its frozen)

when done, I place the salmon and aspagus on top of a bed of steamed
jasmine rice. of course pouring the remaining juices over the fish
and rice.

Oh, I think im gunna have this for dinner tonight.

Cooked meat is gray. That's what color it is.

Salmon in season has fed on shrimp. The shrimp eat the little pink
things. The shrimp turn pink. The salmon meat turns pink. That is
what people expect.

Chicken skin is white. People want yellow chickens. They feed the
chickens stuff to make the skin yellow. They use marigold flowers.

I don't know what they put in the feed to make the salmon pink. I may
not be too upset.
