Salmon has it all — it’s simple to prepare, delicious, and healthy. It’s also versatile: Bake, broil, or grill it; smoke, poach, or add it to stews; form it into fish cakes or burgers; add it to salads. Here are some of our very favorite recipes.

1. Lemon-Pepper Salmon

“Simple, tasty and fast! Salmon is sauteed with all ingredients at once, and served over couscous,” says AMAGICITY. “Great with a spinach salad.”

2. Spicy Salmon Salad Sandwiches

Canned salmon combines with capers and cucumber salad, and gets a spicy kick from sriracha hot sauce and red chile paste. “You do get a little kick of heat,” says lutzflcat. “But it by no means overwhelms. This was a nice break from traditional tuna salad.” It’s ready in 15 minutes.

3. Blackened Salmon Fillets

This Cajun-inspired blackening blend packs a punch of flavor, featuring paprika, cayenne pepper, black and white pepper, onion powder, thyme, basil, and oregano. “I mix up a full batch of the seasonings and store it in an airtight container in my pantry,” says NOFZIGER.

 

4. Creamy Smoked Salmon Pasta

Smoked salmon combines with green peas, mushrooms, and a creamy pasta sauce. “This is a lighter version of pasta carbonara,” says DEBNJAMES. “For people who want the flavor but not the bacon, smoked salmon is the perfect substitute.”

For this recipe, you’ll make a quick paste from garlic, salt, and fresh herbs. You’ll stir in Dijon and mayo, cayenne, and a splash of lemon juice. Spread the paste over the salmon and broil.
