These tasty salmon recipes make it easy to enjoy restaurant-quality salmon at home. Rich in protein and healthy fats, salmon can be air fried, grilled, or baked. Its flavor profile can be adjusted by adding a tangy glaze, an herb marinate, encrusting it in nuts, or serving a special sauce on the side. When looking to eat on the lighter side, but you don’t want to sacrifice flavor, these easy salmon recipes will help you upgrade your weeknight dinner.
