Salmon are an important and popular food fish that find patrons around the world. While it once used to be regular, the recent demand uptick means that salmon pricing has reached something of a fancy fish category.
That said, the bright colors and nice texture of the fish does lend itself well to cooking, photography, and popular imagination.
So, let’s take a look at some recipes as inspiration for delicious salmon and ways to serve it!
Remarkable Salmon Recipes Worth A Look
1. Baked Blackened Salmon
This rather richly flavored recipe makes excellent use of its ingredients to provide a nice texture and picturesque style. A big part of this is the use of some strong flavors used by the recipe.
Apart from the salmon, the recipe calls for Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic, and lemons. Together with other ingredients, these give the recipe a unique and fresh flavor with an impressive styling.
2. Smoked Salmon Toast
This recipe looks as inviting as it’s delicious and simple to make. It starts with a whole wheat toast, topped with some avocado, salmon, and garnished with furikake seasoning, chili, and dill.
The ingredient list is simple enough, and the smoked salmon goes rather well with the toast and avocado. As a plus, the garnish really manages to bring out the flavors and styling of the recipe to great results.
3. Grilled Salmon Skewers With Creamy Dill Yogurt Sauce
This is one of those preparations that makes you feel hungry just looking at it. I guess that says something for the goodness of the recipe and the quality of the ingredients.
At the heart of the recipe are salmon filets cut into 1-inch cubes. These are then marinated, and after that process is done, it’s straight to the grill! The grilled salmon is then covered in a generous serving of creamy yogurt sauce with a good serving of dill mixed into the sauce. Yum!
4. Pan-Seared Salmon With A Creamy Florentine Sauce
While pan-seared salmon is a good ingredient for any recipe any day of the week, it is the creamy florentine sauce that makes this recipe. The sauce has a wonderful texture and mouthfeel and works rather well with the salmon to match flavors and deliciousness.
It can take some effort to get the sauce right, but it’s well-worth the time and delivers amazing results.
5. Simple Dijon-Crusted Salmon Recipe
The crispy salmon for this recipe tastes rather divine as the flavors from dijon mustard flow through to complete the effect.
This is something of a resourceful recipe that makes use of breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon juice, and mayonnaise. Breadcrumbs give it a unique texture and add to the crispiness, giving the recipe a very satisfying mouthfeel.
Besides, it helps that the food is good to look at and thus sets the stage for the wonderful texture and flavors.
6. Salmon With Roasted Pepper Cream Sauce
This recipe is divided into two sections. The first one being the salmon filet, while the other is the preparation of the roasted pepper cream sauce.
Salmon filet is handled relatively easily by working with olive oil, and then adding salt and pepper to taste. It’s the pepper cream sauce that takes much of the effort in cooking, and also brings a wondrous depth of flavor to the meal.
You’ll need quite a list of ingredients and some skill to get the sauce right, but it’s absolutely magnificent once prepared.
7. Air Fryer Salmon Bites
Modern air fryers have transformed our foods and cuisines with a direction that’s unique and interesting for these appliances. These salmon bites are an excellent example of this approach, since their texture and styling is made possible by air fryers.
The recipe utilizes only a few ingredients and makes excellent use of them, along with the air fryer, to come up with these rather snack-worthy and delicious bite sized chunks of salmon.
8. This Salmon With An Indigenous Style
This recipe identifies itself as salmon with an indigenous flair. According to the recipe, this indigenous flair comes with the use of sumac, sunflowers, and squash. I think that’s rather thin logic to call it “indigenous flair” but again, that feels more like gatekeeping or unproductive discussion.
In any case, the recipe shines where it matters. It offers excellent taste, has rich flavors, shows off a nice texture, and the brilliant colors shine through rather well for a very likable styling.
9. Honey Garlic Butter Baked Salmon
This sumptuous-looking recipe revels in its deliciousness and simplicity. It uses only a few ingredients, but makes use of them with such skill, that the flavors of the individual ingredients, as well as the salmon, shine through the recipe.
Another impressive part is how quick the recipe is to prepare. If you know your way around the kitchen, this could be handled in just about 15 minutes. Novice cooks or those new to this recipe might find themselves taking a bit more time to get this recipe right.
10. Simple Baked Salmon With Dill
Perhaps it wouldn’t be wrong to say that this recipe lives in minimalism. It’s simplistic to the point of being almost bare. While we do appreciate easy recipes with a small ingredient list, this one goes a bit too frugal on the requirements.
All it asks is that you season salmon with salt and pepper and then let it be baked in an oven. Once the baked salmon is ready, garnish it with dill and lemon wedge and its ready to serve.
11. Refreshing Citrus Salmon Ceviche
I like how deliciously picturesque this ceviche looks. The brilliant and vibrant colors of salmon of course play a part, as do the red onions and cilantro.
Apart from these visuals, the flavors also get a boost with ingredients like smoked paprika, ground cumin, lime juice, and lemon. The recipe also makes impressive use of other ingredients like avocado and diced bell peppers.
