Wow we have salmon in our rivers in the South island ... I didn't know that - always thought it is trout?

Yeah, pan fry is fine, lightly cover in flour & S&P first. Best of all, try oven bake, wrapped in foil. I usually put a hint of ginger, soy, garlic, sesame oil, a pinch of sugar & S&P on before I start, let it all melt in. Very little is needed. Also works great on the BBQ.
SI Salmon is great stuff, peeps from the USA pay fortunes to fish there - as does the Telecom CEO.

I just rub a bit of salt and oliver oil onto the skin side, and put the salmon steak under the grill for about 5 minutes one side and 2 the other.Then I drizzle with a tiny bit of balsamic vinegar.Just beautiful...

We did this one on the BBQ last week, I don't eat salmon, but everyone at the BBQ raved about it. It was the first recipe I found when googling BBQ salmon in foil (hubby and I had a domestic as he said it has to be done in foil!) Salmon (I used a huge 1/2 salmon gifted to me from a farm), lime, white wine, mayonaise, salt, onion, garlic powder, lemon peper, oregano, basil, paprika. Its 1/2 tsp of all the herbs and salt etc, and as much wine as you like. Preheat grill, make a tray out of double thickness foil, dull side up. Place salmon skin side down, squeeze lime all over, and spread with mayonaise. Mix together everything else and sprinkle over the top. Devine. I substituted the salt and a couple of other things with Smoked Spice Company salt I buy from the Riccarton market.

yes, we have both. Salmon come into the rivers to spawn. We have sea run trout as well. How long have you lived in NZ?

samanya, didn't some Canadian indigenous people's representatives come to New Zealand recently to take back some salmon spawn from a rare species introduced to NZ many years ago that they had lost - or almost lost?

Hi there, my fav salmon steaks is pop a couple on a plate, cover with the juice and zest of one orange, add a little fresh chopped dill or parsley if you have it, then cover with cling film and microwave for 3/4 minutes for 2 average sized steaks, meals in less than 5 mins! And it stays lovely and moist mmmmmm, want salmon for dinner now! Enjoy it!

Thank you all for the yummy suggestions.I drizzled with lime juice, then mayonnaise and a sprinkling of herby salt mixture similar to that Stormbaby has.Baked for a few minutes then grilled a little.The steaks easily peeled off the skin and were very tasty.Still plenty left to try something else too!
