Salmon--would this work?

[Peggy2004]

Hi,

I was going to fix a salmon filet tonight using dijon mustard--maybe mixed with some mayo, maybe as a marinade...I'm in the process of searching for recipes to get ideas. Then I realized that I have some sugar-free Davinci pineapple syrup here....and I got to thinking that this might be really good with the salmon. Now I'm not sure how to incorporate it. Would pineapple and dijon be horrible together? What if I left off the dijon and added the pineapple to mayo? Good idea, or terrible? Anybody have any thoughts on how I could experiment with this pineapple syrup and my salmon? I do have some soy sauce here and so I could use the pineapple syrup to make a sort of bogus teriyaki sauce, but I was going to bake (or broil) this in the oven instead of grilling, and I'd prefer to save the teriyaki idea till I grill. Any thoughts on how to use that pineapple sauce??? Thanks!

You could try doing an Asian inpired sour-spicy-salty-sweet type of thing.

Perhaps marinade the filets in a bit of soy sauce (salty) and crushed red pepper (spicy), and then when they are done brush them in a blend of some lemon juice (sour) and pinapple syrup (sweet). Could be tasty.

Thanks, Nullo--sounds great but I think I will save the thin soy sauce plan for grilling. Any thoughts using a thicker sauce, like with the dijon or mayo? Doesn't have to use the pineapple, I just wonder if it can be worked in...? There's a popular recipe that calls for dijon and honey and egg white, but of course that's out.

I make a glaze of dijon mustard and SF/LC maple syrup that's real tasty on salmon... I just mix in enough maple syrup to thin out the mustard, then brush it onto the salmon and bake -- or brush it on as you're grilling.

Here's a recipe from Lowcarbfriends.com for salmon using mayonnaise and mustard that might help.

Baked Salmon
Ingredients: 1 pound of salmon
1/2 mayonase
1/2 tsp paparika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbls dried minced onion
1 tsp chopped garlic
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/2 tsp powdered mustad

How To Prepare: Mix all ingredients in a bowl and let set in the frig for 1 hour. This lets all the flavors intenseify.

Place the salmon on a sheet of aluminun foil skin side down, take the mixture and cover the salmon completely. Wrap the foil so it is sealed and leaves a pouch for the salmon to steam.

Place in a preheated (350) and let cook for approximetly 35-45 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.

Hope this helps! Let us know if you try the recipe! I may try it tonight, since I just bought some salmon today!

When I bake ham, I use dijon and pineapple juice together. For other things, I use mayo/dijon combo,so it might be all right with fish, too.

I was doing salmon in the grill with AsianGrill sauce. When I bake it, I just cut holesin it and mush in some butter in the holes and use s/p and cajun seasonings.

I actually tried this recipe tonight and it was GREAT! After wrapping it in foil, I put it out on the BBQ grill, turned it every 5 minutes for 20 minutes. VERY tasty. Only change I made was that I added some cajun seasoning to the above listed ingredients. I like a little "kick" to foods.

Peggy,
I put lots of salt pepper and garlic powder on the salmon and grill it. Tastes great with no added carbs.
