Pour some lime juice (from a real lime, just squeeze) and the spices of your choice, pepper, garlic, bay leaves...cover up with Reynolds wrap and stick in the oven till it's cooked...

If not a huge fish fan i also recommend Mahi-mahi. Its alot less of a fishy taste and a great source of protein. I am really not a fan of fish and have start to force a taste for it and found it was a lot easy than Salmon for me.

Also crab is great, its like 100% protein. I bake some great crab cakes using whole grain bread for the crusting. Here is a great Salmon recipe if you want more just let me know.

Salmon-This recipe hides a little of that high fish flavor, its a great dish. Re-bakes well too.

Cranberry and Ginger Glazed Salmon

1 1/4 Tbsp (9g) ginger root, minced

2 tsp (6g) garlic, minced

1/4 cup (90g) honey

1/4 cup (60mL) soy sauce, low sodium

1/4 tsp (1g) pepper, freshly ground

1 cup (230g) cranberry sauce, whole berry (make sure no sugar is added)

4 each (four 170g fillets) salmon fillets, or steaks (4 6-ounce pieces or 1 1/2 pounds)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a medium bowl, combine ginger, garlic, honey, soy sauce, pepper, and cranberry sauce, mix until thoroughly blended.

Spray a shallow baking pan with vegetable oil spray and place salmon in pan. Spoon cranberry mixture evenly over fillets/steaks.

Bake 15 minutes for fillets (25 minutes for steaks). Salmon is done when it flakes with a fork.

My mother makes the BEST blackened salmon. Here's what she does:

Grill it lightly in olive oil and cajun seasoning, then bake it in the oven until both sides are black. Oh so good!

I use recipezaar as a resource a lot - they have a special on salmon recipes at the moment.

I sprinkle a tiny bit of garlic salt and a lot of lemon pepper on it, then grill it or fry it in a tiny bit of olive oil. It's one of my kids favorite dinners.

I don't like fishy flavored things either. I like Tilapia though. No fish flavor at all. It's a little higher in cholesterol than other fin fish, but it's okay for a now and again treat.

I like salmon or chicken spiced with a seafood blackening spice mix from Chef Prudhomme. Sautee it in a little butter or olive oil.

I use lemon juice and pepper, put it on George Foreman and wa la.

if it's fresh salmon, wrap it in tinfoil and it'll be delicious.

Im a big fan of the George Forman Grill...LOL Its so quick and easy, and takes litterally only a few minutes to cook a good sized piece of salmon. I usually buy various marinades and use those to spice things up. Always cook on low, to keep it from getting dry though!
