Top 5 Easy Salmon Recipes

Salmon is a versatile fish that's perfect for quick, delicious meals, and these five recipes showcase some of the best ways to prepare it. There is the elegant simplicity of Salmon en Papillote or the vibrant flavours of Thai Choo Chee Curry. If you're looking for a speedy honey mustard glaze, or a 10 minute sweet soy glaze, or a wholesome salmon and greens tray bake, I've got your dinner covered!

1 - Salmon en Papillote

Salmon en Papillote involves wrapping salmon in parchment paper to create a sealed packet that bakes in the oven. The only preparation required is slicing vegetables into julienne strips, which can be done while the oven heats up. The salmon is perfectly cooked, making for a straightforward, delicious meal!

2 - Honey Mustard Salmon

I can’t praise this salmon dish enough. It’s the simplest and most delicious way to prepare salmon fillets. The combination of honey, Dijon mustard, lemon and garlic is a classic. Even better, the entire dish comes together in just 15 minutes - cooking the potatoes will take longer!

3 - Salmon Choo Chee Curry

This Thai Choo Chee curry salmon is both straightforward and incredibly delicious. Using just a few basic ingredients, it features salmon gently poached in a rich, red curry coconut sauce. If you're a fan of Thai flavours, you’ll definitely want to try this Salmon Choo Chee!

4 - 10 Minute Soy glazed Salmon

This was a purely accidentally delicious salmon recipe. Kecap manis caramelises and create a glossy glaze and is perfect for salmon, with its rich, fatty texture. I’ve since refined the recipe by incorporating garlic and ginger to enhance the flavour but the cooking time remains a quick 10 minutes. Whether by accident or design, you can have a delicious salmon meal ready in no time!

5 - Salmon and Greens Tray Bake

This salmon tray bake is perfect for when you want to eat light and put in minimal effort while still enjoying a delicious dinner. This "spa salmon" is baked on a single tray with pak choy and soba and is a wholesome choice that lets you enjoy your weekend or weekday dinner.
