We are salmon experts and grew up with the best salmon in the Seattle area, so we’re here to bring you The Best Salmon Recipes! We’ve sourced recipes using all methods from baking, to air frying, to grilling and we’ve picked our top recipes featuring salmon. These are all perfect for weeknight meals, company dinners, holidays, or even just a simple dinner when you’re not sure what to cook.

Bang Bang Salmon

Bang Bang Salmon is a restaurant quality dish we love. Tender salmon fillets oven baked or Air Fried and topped with the delicious sauce we all love! A perfect weeknight meal done in minutes but fancy enough for company.

Pesto Salmon

Pesto Salmon bakes up just as fast as plain salmon, but with restaurant quality flavor. We get our favorite pesto from Costco. It’s fresh, and has mostly whole ingredients. A jar goes a long way, so you can use it for Orzo Pesto Salad, or even Gnocchi Skillet with Creamy Pesto on the side. Yum!

Salmon Chowder

We love this Salmon Chowder in the Winter and Summer! Stuffed with salmon, potatoes, corn, a medley of veggies, and a bit of heavy cream this easy and hearty chowder will please your crowd! Serve with a little homemade focaccia bread on the side.

Salmon Dip

Every time I make this salmon dip, my guests go crazy. I always have to make more than 1 batch, and my salmon-loving dad goes especially crazy for it! The trick is to add a little bit of smokey flavor using liquid smoke (literally a tiny, tiny amount goes a very long way!). Best part? It only takes 5 minutes and uses leftover salmon. If you really want to amp it up, serve it with homemade crackers.

Pan Cooked Salmon

Every home chef should know how to pan cook salmon. From start to finish this recipe is only about 15 minutes and yields restaurant quality salmon every time. If you have company, top it with a little bit of lemon and rosemary for garnish. I absolutely love to serve this with a fresh tasting Lemon Ricotta Pasta for that ‘wow’ factor!

Salmon Seasoning Recipe

This Easy Salmon Seasoning is the perfect recipe for when you aren’t sure what to do with your salmon, but you want flavor. This recipe uses ingredients you likely already have in your pantry, and you can make alot, or a little at a time! You can also use it on pretty much any other protein, from pork, to chicken, to halibut.

Air Fryer Salmon Bites

Everybody loves an easy salmon recipe! These Air Fryer Salmon Bites pack a huge flavor punch with very little effort. Cubed salmon is marinated in a garlic butter herb mixture, then air fried to perfection for a quick 10 minutes. You can make these ahead of time to top on a fresh couscous salad or green salad, too.

Honey Mustard Salmon

There is nothing like popping in a sheet pan and calling it good. This Honey Mustard Salmon recipe is that easy! We mix together a homemade honey mustard sauce and slather it over salmon, then bake it for an easy weeknight meal thats healthy and super flavorful. This is one of our household favorites! If you like honey mustard, you’ll also love our honey mustard chicken and rice bake!

Baked Blackened Salmon

Baked Blackened Salmon is the perfect addition to your salmon recipe collection! A simple combination of brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic and oregano is spread over a filet of salmon, baked and in about 15-20 minutes, you have perfect, flakey, salmon. Sweet and savory and all the things salmon should taste like.

Panko Crusted Salmon

Panko Crusted Salmon is a simple but flavorful coating of panko crumbs, herbs, and lemon zest coat a perfectly cooked piece of salmon. The result? A new way to cook Salmon using pantry staple ingredients with a satisfying top coat of crunch, and flavor.

Garlic Dijon and Fresh Herb Salmon

This Garlic, Dijon and Fresh Herb Salmon will become your favorite go to salmon recipe! Using a medley of fresh herbs, garlic and dijon this easy salmon recipe can be enjoyed any night of the week, and the best part? It only takes about 5 minutes to put together, we love this recipe especially for Spring and Summer dinners on a patio.

Miso Glazed Salmon

We needed a salmon recipe with loads of flavor and who doesn’t love Asian flavoring- meet, Miso Glazed Salmon! A quick marinade and a brush of it under the broiler give this salmon a sticky & sweet flavor. We love this served with steamed broccoli & white rice.

Salmon with Dill Sauce

We love to pair baked salmon with this fresh and easy yogurt based dill sauce. Made in about 30 minutes, you will love how simple and flavorful this dill sauce and salmon is. I love this served with sliced cucumbers on the side for a simple, fresh flavor.

Simple Easy Baked Salmon

If you just want salmon, this is your recipe. This is by far the most popular recipe on our blog, and rightfully so! It’s a recipe every home cook should know. Salt, pepper, olive oil, salmon. That’s it!

Salmon Burgers

These Fresh and Easy Salmon Burgers are made with simple ingredients and come together quickly! They can be made in a skillet, on a grill or in your air fryer. We love these for meal prep for an easy, but different on the go protein snack.
