The only fish that tastes "fishy" is fish that's been sitting around for too long. In some parts of the country, or in cheap supermarkets, that is the only kind you can get. Yuck! Make sure to buy fish from a decent fishmarket. Get fish if you can get it. Otherwise frozen at sea is good.
The easy way to cook salmon is to salt and pepper, then grill it, about 3-4 minutes a side for fillets. DON'T overcook it.
Another nice way is to make parchment flavor packets. Place 1/2 cup of cooked wild rice on one half of a square of parchment folded into triangles, add about a 6 oz fillet on top, top with a mixture of sliced oyster, button, etc mushrooms that you've sauteed in a little butter. Fold the parchment over, corner to corner, then "roll" the edge to seal it. Bake about 20 minutes at 350. Flavorful and delicious.
