Maple Bourbon Salmon

Mix even portions of your favorite bourbon and maple syrup for a zesty glaze to cover salmon fillets. Red onions and soy sauce complete the savory sensation.


Lemon-Baked Dill Salmon

Add a creamy dill sauce for a different take on this robust fish. Blend mayonnaise and cream cheese for a thick sauce.


Grilled Salmon

Grilled salmon takes just 10 minutes to cook on an outdoor grill. Try this instead of steak or hamburgers the next time you grill on Friday night.


Lemon and Herb Roasted Salmon

Fresh lemons and herbs make every seafood taste better, and salmon is no exception. Roast your fillets with lemon and herbs on top so the flavors seep into the layers of fish. Serve with a side of potatoes and chopped bacon.


Cedar Plank Salmon

Take your grill to the next level here when you cook salmon on a cedar plank over lower temperatures. The flavor of the cedar seeps into the meat while it cooks for 15 to 20 minutes.


Salmon Cakes

Instead of savory crab cakes, replace crab meat with flaked salmon for a more nutritious take on a classic dish.


Salmon and Asparagus Quiche

Much like salmon cakes, chopped salmon goes well in just about any baked meat dish. Try salmon in a quiche with asparagus here for a nutritional tour-de-force.


Balsamic-Glazed Salmon

Balsamic-glazed salmon produces sweet and savory flavors on top of the fish thanks to honey and brown sugar. After you try some of these recipes, you may never go back to ordinary meats again.
