    Here are six ideas for spice/flavor combinations for salmon: 1. cumin, cinnamon, a dash of red pepper flakes, salt, and some brown sugar. Squeeze fresh lemon juice all over. (I call this BBQ salmon.) 2. thyme, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of honey (This is a particular favorite for grilling salmon.) 3. fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a pat of butter 4. ginger, garlic, and soy sauce 5. fresh tarragon and a pat of butter 6.

    So I can steam them from frozen? For how long?
    Community Answer
    There really is no solid time limit. If you put your stove on low, then I would say about an hour. If you set the stove on medium, it would take about 30 minutes.
  • Question
    Does it matter how thick the salmon is?
    Community Answer
    If your salmon pieces are thicker, you can cook them for an additional 5 minutes or so.
  • Question
    Do people eat the skin on frozen salmon? I scrape it off after cooking as it can be a mess.
    Community Answer
    Some people eat the skin, and say it's similar (at least in principle) to bacon rind. However, most people would simply discard the skin.
  • Question
    Why is the salmon shown skin side down in the first skillet, but the text says skin up? Which is it for frozen salmon?

    Skin up is best for frozen salmon so the meat will get a nice touch. I like to use frozen salmon too, but make sure you give it some time to thaw.
