Beat me to it danny, one of my favourites. Also like it brushed with garlic butter.

To poach the salmon place in a pan, cover with cold water, when the water boils the salmon is cooked.

Many Thanks Danny, will give it a try, though is water a slow or a fast boil?

[dannyk13]

Low to medium heat.

[woodelf]

OK!

Butter tin foil, squeeze lemon juice grated pepper. Wrap salmon in foil. Place in pan of cold water with knob of butter and lemon juice. Bring to boil. Cooked

I baked a smoked cod last night - first time ever - it was done in minutes and beautiful

[pastafreak]

I bake it...or any fish fillets...in parchment paper. Olive oil, lemon slices, chilli, a few capers, salt and pepper. 20 minutes or so will do thick fillets.

Many Thanks guys, all scrummy ideas!

Or you could steam which keeps flavour

[pastafreak]

That's what wrapping it in a parcel does jj...steams, keeps moist, and concentrates flavour.

[jennyjoan]

Must try that

Blitz bread crumbs and add parmesan cheese. Coat your salmon well with this topping and bake.

I do similar with cod...but I use polenta which I season. Can be baked or fried in butter.
