I've heard grilling or broiled is probably best, but anyhow.

i have the option to buy it locally in a side fillet or the horseshoe
cut.

I got a side fillet and put a little olive oil in the skillet and
cooked until brown, but the other side still had the skin on it, so
after flipping it and letting the skin side cook a couple minutes, I
peeled the skin off easily then cooked at it for about anothe 4
minutes.

It turned out OK, I thought. It was flakey and tender. a bit of lemon
juice and pepper helped out. I'm staying away from salt.

I'm sure there are *better ways to skillet fry salmon then what I did.

sooo....

What should I do next time around?

I love it on a smoker. I've got one of these:http://tinyurl.com/ydkc2gq

Put the salmon on there for an hour with some mesquite chips and it's
done. Very good.

That's fine, John. But at 10 degrees above zero?

Perfect time for a smoker... Just gotta' take a couple sections out of
the feed tube so you can get 160F in the barrel...

Sit around with a couple of friends, some drinks and stuff. Feed the
firebox and watch the thermometer...
