I have 2 pieces of salmon to cook for tea. I've never cooked salmon as my husband is sure he won't like it and I want to change his mind! I'm looking for a simple tasty recipe please.

scha, salmon cooked as in the recipe on the following link is both simple and tasty:-
I cannot vouch for the sauce though as we have not tried it, preferring instead to use Prenzel's Citrus Vinaigrette or simply the juice of either fresh lime or lemon.
Hope that helps and that you can "change his mind" - nicely cooked fresh salmon is indeed a delicious and healthy meal - just be sure to not overcook the salmon.:-))

I am not a salmon fan and to me it is only as good as the sauce that goes with it SO I place salmon pieces on tinfoil cover with either mayonnaise or tartare sauce a knob of butter seal parcel and cook on bbq or in oven.So easy and yummy.

Does your husband like Asian flavours!Salmon is very good with a simple teriyaki-style glaze.Mix a tab each of tamari, sake, mirin and sugar, brush liberally both sides of salmon, grill or fry over high heat for about a minute each side.Don't overcook salmon - it should be medium-rare.

I prefer mine plain, that way I can taste the fish. I fry it at a high heat, in a mixture of butter and a tasteless oil. The oil stops the butter burning. Then served with a wedge of lemon, no sauces, just a salad or plain potatoes and greens. Delicious with buttered, new potatoes,

The best way to serve fish is "simple". The only difference for me is, I use a very hot pan oil the fish, sprinkle with salt , skin down first, turn once only. Serve as soon as the oil starts to come away from the fish. If unsure, separate the flesh to see if it is cooked. You do not want to overcook it. lemon is very nice as .kay141.has said.

Another nice way to cook it is sprinkled with brown sugar and freshly ground black pepper and then cook skin side down in small amount of oil and butter - as many have said don't overcook - should still be pinky/orange in the middle

I poach my salmon as partner not so keen on it but likes it done this way, fill pan with white wine 1 glass and water add sageor coriander (fresh bunches or other fresh herbs, poach until cooked through, you don't get the oily taste.
