Welcome to another savory Seafood Sunday!
Whether you’re a seafood novice or a Seafoodie pro, salmon should be at the top of your menu. Touted for its health benefits (hello, heart-healthy omega-3s!), versatility and meaty taste, salmon is king when it comes to summer–or anytime–cooking.
For starters, there are many great ways to prepare it. Bake, grill, pan-sear, cook on a cedar plank, broil in butter or poach with veggies in a pouch. With basic seasonings and minimal prep, you can create a magnificent meal in no time. Don’t let its simplicity fool you—there’s a reason salmon is also a go-to for seasoned Seafoodies!
This fabulous fish is brimming with B vitamins, especially vitamin B-12, which helps to reduce inflammation and boost your immune system. And, each 3.5-ounce serving packs in about 25 grams of protein, which helps to keep hunger at bay, rev up your metabolism and maintain muscle mass.
Plus, salmon is loaded with antioxidants to keep your skin glowing, vitamin D for healthy bones and teeth, potassium to keep your heartbeat steady and selenium to keep your brain sharp! And if that wasn’t enough—salmon is also one of the best nutritional sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These powerful fatty acids help lower triglyceride levels in the blood, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
It’s easy to see why salmon has become a staple in our weekly meal rotation! Fresh, pouched, frozen or canned, there’s no wrong way to enjoy this kitchen-friendly fish. So, whether you’re just starting your salmon obsession or looking to spice up your home menu repertoire, you’ve come to the right place. Here are 30 of our favorite salmon recipes that we know you’ll love!
