Top 26+ salmon recipes for easy dinners

Looking for the best salmon recipes to make the most of the versatile fish? Salmon is the best of allies when it comes to entertaining, thanks to its versatility and intense flavour providing ample dish options. Try it smoked, roasted, flaked into a salad, sitting on top of toast with eggs or served as a canapé — whichever you choose, salmon is always a crowd-pleaser.

In this collection of our best salmon recipes, standouts for your next dinner party include our mustard baked salmon adorned with citrus slices, salmon keftethes, a classic gravlax and salmon rillettes. These salmon recipes make the most of the fatty fish’s robust flavour, with the added bonus of looking (and tasting!) seriously impressive.

If you prefer something a bit lighter, try our lightly grilled Japanese-style salmon tataki, or a simple baked filet dressed in lemons and mustard. We also have simple salmon recipes for quick and easy weeknight cooking, too, from our seared salmon and glazed salmon with fresh and punchy salads that take mere minutes to cook.

What is the best way to cook salmon?

Salmon is a versatile fish that cooks well across a variety of methods. With a strong fishy flavour and smell, those with more delicate palates may prefer a cured or smoked salmon, as it has a gentler flavour profile. For a more robust flavour, grilled, baked or fried salmon is a quick and easy way to prepare your fish.
