The only way I like Salmon is when I make fish patties for sandwiches.
Then I make thin, bread sized squares and fry them in EVOO until they
are crisp on the outside. The sandwich has whatever type of condiments
I prefer at the moment...maybe tomato, lettuce, onion...that type of
thing.
When I eat Salmon "as is", even with sauce on it, I find it
unappealing.
