Kree, in my opinion salmon is the best fish out there. Especially a nice coho or sockeye. Be sure to get a fillet, as opposed to a salmon steak (and I prefer it with the skin off). I think you'll be surprised, Girlfriend. It's not "fishy" at all. There are some fish that are "fishy," and I remember catching them when we lived on the coast; I wouldn't eat them again. But it sure wasn't salmon!
Also, be sure to buy WILD salmon; you don't want that farm stuff, like Atlantic salmon. It's not in season right now, so you can't buy it fresh. Nevertheless, the frozen stuff is fabulous if you get it at a good fish store. It takes no time at all to defrost, and there's no fishy smell.
Also, don't over-cook it on the BBQ. Last night I put it on at the same time as the new potatoes, then let it cook the whole time the potatoes were cooking (1/2 hour). It was WAYYYY too long, even though I had it on low, and the salmon came out too dry. You just want it "easy over," just until the individual filets layers begin to separate and there are no more juices. Also, I covered it with aluminium foil because the other night when I made it for dinner I didn't cover it and it took forever to cook.
Okay, I'm rambling.
ENJOY!
P.S.: Love the happy dance!
