Brush this mixture over 4 salmon fillets that are between 6 to 8 ounces in size, and then grill the salmon for 20 minutes on top of a cedar plank. Mix together a cup of shredded green cabbage, a cup of chopped apple, a tablespoon of diced onion, a tablespoon of live oil, and an eighth of a teaspoon of salt.

Mango Salmon

Cut fresh salmon fillets into 4 equal pieces and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook a diced onion until soft and mix in a half cup of mango, a half cup of chopped walnuts or pecans, and salt and pepper to taste. Roll out a pre-made pie crust until it is about an eighth of an inch thick. Cut a circle of pie crust in half and place a chunk of salmon onto the crust, slather with a fourth of the mango sauce, and wrap the salmon in the pie crust. Repeat this with each piece of salmon. Bake the salmon wrapped in pie crust according to the instructions on the pie crust packaging.

Salmon Wrapped in Phyllo Dough

De-skin, rinse, and dry a pound of salmon that has been made into fillets. Divide the salmon into 4 equal pieces and brush each chunk with melted butter. Sprinkle some salt on pepper to taste. Using approximately 6 sheets of phyllo, alternate between a sheet of phyllo and a layer of brushed on melted butter. After adding the sixth sheet of dough, place the salmon in the middle of the 9 x 7 inch rectangle with the buttered side of the fillet facing downward. Fold the dough over the salmon to create a small package and place them into a baking dish. Brush the top of each package with melted butter and bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees.
