This is a really easy recipe to make it sounds like a lot of ingredients but they are just going in a blender so it does not take a really long time to prepare. This recipe could also be done on the BBQ cooking salmon as a whole rather than cutting it down into individual fillets. Ingredients
4-6 Salmon fillets (This makes enough sauce for 6 servings.)
3/4 Cup chopped fresh mint, packed
3/4 Cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 Cup chopped fresh coriander, packed
8 Cloves garlic, peeled
3 Green onions, sliced
1/2 Cup roughly chopped fresh basil
2 Teaspoons chili sauce
1/2 cup olive oil, divided use
3 Tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup white wine, divided use
Pepper to taste
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 Teaspoon chicken stock
Parmesan Cheese, grated (extra for topping)
Method
1. In a food processor, add mint, Parmesan cheese, coriander, garlic, green onions, basil, chili sauce. Carefully pour 1/4 cup olive oil in while blending thoroughly, set to one aside.
2. In a large dish, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, 1/4 cup white wine and pepper. Add salmon and marinate 15 minutes.
3. Heat some oil in a pan and cook salmon until starts to flake 4-6 Min’s a side depending on the thickness of the fillet. Or grill on the BBQ 12-15 Min’s, again according to the weight you have bought.
4. While salmon is cooking. Combine in a saucepan, cream and 1/4-cup white wine and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer stirring a couple of minutes until reduced slightly, add chicken stock and stir to dissolve, add the garlic mixture, simmer a few more minutes, stirring to allow the potent flavour of the garlic to settle down.
To Serve: Arrange salmon on a plate pour sauce over and top with grated Parmesan cheese. I served mine with wild rice and herbs, but serve with you favourite vegetables or salad whatever you prefer.

Here is another Zaar members recipe, again I haven’t posted one for awhile so I thought it was about time, that and being just after Christmas, it is nice not to have to think of what your going to do for dinner.
I thought this was very good, I served mine over wild rice with mushrooms, so I did make a sauce to go with it. If you are serving with rice, it is nice to have a sauce to pair with it, but the topping goes great with the salmon if serving by itself, and would not need anything to accompany it.

1/4 Cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Oregano (I sprinkled with dill instead of oregano.)
Parsley
Method
1. Pour butter in a 9″x13″ pan.
2. (I use parchment paper to line a metal pan or a’Pammed’ Pyrex dish.) Arrange onion evenly in bottom of dish.
3. (I usually put hard butter and onions in the pan together and place in preheated oven to melt the butter. Just don’t forget to watch it!) Place salmon in a single layer on top of onions.
4. Combine mayo, cheese, Worcestershire sauce, paprika and salt
6. Spread over top of salmon.
7. Sprinkle with oregano and parsley.
8. Bake at 350 degrees for approx 35 minute depending on thickness of salmon.
