Whenever we’re wondering what to make for dinner, we know we can count on these easy salmon recipes. We repeat them and they always pass.
I almost always throw salmon in my cart at the store. If there’s a salmon fillet in the fridge, I know a quick, delicious dinner is just minutes away. These are our visitors salmon recipes. They are simple, quick and always delicious. Whether you’re looking for a cookie to bake, sweet and gooey glazed salmon filletor tender salmon burgersthere is something here for everyone.
When shopping, keep in mind how different varieties are cooked. We love rich, high-fat salmon like king (Chinook) or farmed Atlantic because that extra marbling keeps the fish incredibly tender and moist. If you prefer the flavor of wild sockeye or coho, just remember that they’re naturally leaner, so you’ll want to watch the cooking time more closely to ensure they stay perfectly tender.
