The question about salmon reminds me of another fish thing my mom made a lot when I was a kid: salmon patties. I hadn't thought about those in years, but a quick google search shows that they're very much a "thing". I have no idea how she made them, but I'm guessing that if I find a recipe in the old Betty Crocker book, that's probably it. And considering our lack of love for seafood through those years, those probably weren't very salmon-y. But I definitely liked them.
These days, I dunno, I can't think of a way I wouldn't enjoy salmon. It's good stuff. Baked or grilled are certainly favorites.
