Cook it at a friend's house.

Actually, you can grill it outside, weather permitting, or you might want to invest in a good vent
fan for your kitchen, which can prove invaluable in cooking all sorts of smelly things.

Tyr cooking it outside on the grill, it tastes best that way , I think. Rosie

Buy first class salmon not farmed.

Steaming works for me. With the stove exhaust fan running.

Also it helps if the fish is fresh.

Cook it outdoors on the grille. Brush with an oil-based herb marinade or plain olive oil or melted
butter or even mayonnaise so it doesn't stick to the grille. We have salmon often and I don't think
I have EVER cooked it indoors.

That has nothing to do with it. Salmon is a fatty fish. When you cook it, the fats come out and
release a fishier smell than most fish --especially if you're sauteeing it. I like to poach it in a
flavored liquid. A bit of soy, ginger and asian spice to the poaching water, with some lemon. Not as
much smell.

Sure. Take a piece of foil large enough to wrap the salmon very loosely, oil it and place the salmon
on it. Season the salmon with salt and papper and whatever else you might like, (I like lemon
pepper), and close the foil. Place it on a baking sheet in a 400 degree oven until the salmon is
done to your liking. The time will depend on the thickness and temperature of the fish and your
taste in doneness, but try 20 minutes and have a look; you can always give it more time. When it's
done throw the foil away. No smell, no washing up.

I'll assume steaks or fillets ??.

Fish lose the smell if you clean them with a light acid wash. I always(well, nearly) put fish in the
sink or a bowl of warm tepid water and add a cap of lemon juice or vinegar before cooking. Then I
rinse it off under the tap.

Nope, it's not a farm vs. wild problem. Fresher fish will solve the problem.

Practice safe eating - always use condiments

Barbequed salmon? Are you kidding? I've never tasted it and never knew it existed. Don't you negate
the salmon flavor with the sauce?

(Sorry, I just couldn't resist.)

Barbecue is *not* all about the sauce. Sauce is used to cover up mistakes.

Sauce? What sauce? Just toss it on the grill with a bit oil or butter and salt and pepper and add a
little fresh dill when it is almost done. I think it is the best way to cook salmon. Steaks need to
be flipped over to cook both sides. Fillets can be cooked skin side down.

Ah, you're talkin' GRILLED salmon, not "barbequed" salmon. ;-) Wait 'til the Q-ers see this. ;-)
