Salmon is one of those magical ingredients that can feel fancy enough for date night but still easy enough for a Tuesday when everyone is hungry and you need something on the fly.
These salmon recipes include easy baked salmon dinners, fresh salads, hearty burgers, creamy pasta, party-ready appetizers and smoky, savory bites. Whether you are starting with fresh salmon fillets, canned salmon or smoked salmon, this list has something for quick weeknight meals, meal prep lunches, holidays and entertaining.
Chef Tip
Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches 125°F-130°F for medium or 145°F for fully cooked. Pull it a few degrees early and let carryover cooking do its thing – salmon likes a gentle landing, not a crash landing.
