Dill and salmon are a match made in cooking heaven. This recipe turns out quite a bit of creamy dill sauce, so save extras for meals the next day. One reader suggests using any leftover sauce to make potato salad, which sounds heavenly.<\/p>\r\n
\"This is one of my husband's favorite recipes. Salmon is a go-to for busy nights because it cooks so quickly and goes with so many different flavors. The creamy dill sauce with cucumber tastes light and fresh.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Angela Spengler, Tampa, Florida<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n The air fryer is a game-changer for cooking salmon because the skin gets nice and crispy. There's no complicated marinade for this recipe: All you need is salmon and your spice rack. Choosing salmon fillets with the skin still on ensures the flesh will stay intact while it cooks instead of falling apart.<\/p>\r\n \"Preparing salmon in the air fryer is, hands down, one of the easiest ways to cook it. Air-fryer salmon stays succulent, but still gets lightly browned on the outside. Use this simple salmon recipe as a starting point for different flavors and styles of salmon. The possibilities are endless!\" \u2014<\/em>Taste Recipes Test Kitchen<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n Stock up on flavorful, protein-packed meals by freezing a batch of these salmon patties before cooking them. Spread them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and pop them in the freezer. Once they're frozen, transfer to a freezer-safe airtight container and store them for up to three months.<\/p>\r\n \"I combine seven easy ingredients for these salmon patties. When I was a girl growing up on the farm, my mom often fixed these when we were late in the field. They're also tasty with chopped green peppers added to the mixture.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Bonnie Evans, Cameron, North Carolina<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n Turn Taco Tuesday into something truly memorable with these punchy, spice-rubbed salmon tacos. You can get creative with the sides. We love hearty options like Instant Pot black beans<\/a> and Southwestern rice<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n \"You can have a restaurant-style dinner in less than 30 minutes with these easy salmon tacos. In addition to the zesty coleslaw, add your favorite toppings like sliced avocado, radishes or jalapeno peppers.\" \u2014<\/em>Taste Recipes Test Kitchen<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n Letting salmon soak in milk before dredging it in the flour-pecan mixture results in a crispy fish that's super tender on the inside. Brown sugar<\/a> is the secret ingredient that will have your guests wondering what makes the dish taste so good.<\/p>\r\n \"These delicious salmon fillets are wonderful for company since they take only a few minutes to prepare, yet they taste like you fussed. I receive requests for the recipe every time I serve them.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Kara Cook, Elk Ridge, Utah<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n This is a restaurant-worthy salmon dish that will become a go-to for quick weeknight meals<\/a> and dinner parties alike. You can use this zippy bread crumb mixture on chicken and pork as well.<\/p>\r\n \"Impress everyone at your table with this elegant but easy salmon that's delicious and nutritious. You can substitute scallions for shallots if you like.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Linda Press Wolfe, Cross River, New York<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n Blending salmon in the food processor then folding in shallot, cilantro and soy sauce creates just the right texture for these patties. With a crunchy, tangy slaw, these burgers will become one of your go-to cookout meals.<\/p>\r\n \"I thought I'd made salmon every way you can make it\u2014until now. The tangy slaw, made with fennel and avocado, adds another layer of flavor that goes surprisingly well with salmon and other seafood.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Amber Massey, Argyle, Texas<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n Once you start cooking salmon with grill foil packs, you'll never look back. Remember that you always want to prep the packs with the skin side down so the flavors from the seasoning and aromatic vegetables can seep in as it cooks.<\/p>\r\n \"Steamed in its own juices, this grilled salmon in foil is incredibly tender. Curry adds a punch of flavor that's perfectly balanced by onion and tomato.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Merideth Berkovich, The Dalles, Oregon<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n This herby, tangy mustard dill sauce is the perfect pairing for grilled salmon steaks. Pesto, tzatziki and chimichurri would also make fantastic accompaniments. We love serving this dish with a bright crunchy salad and grilled vegetables<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n \"This is a terrific way to fix grilled salmon steaks, and it's so easy to do. The marinade mellows the fish flavor, and the dill sauce is a wonderful complement. I once served this recipe to 12 people from the Pacific Northwest who declared it was the best salmon they'd ever eaten!\" \u2014Recipe contributor Deb Essen, Victor, Montana<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n If you don't have teriyaki sauce on hand for this satisfying salmon salad, try using a brown sugar glaze<\/a>. The sweet flavors really pop with the tangy salad dressing and chopped red onion. When it comes to herb choice, the sky is the limit.<\/p>\r\n \"Need dinner on the table in a hurry? This grilled salmon salad is the healthy and delicious (not to mention quick) meal you're looking for.\" \u2014<\/em>Taste Recipes Test Kitchen<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n If you're intimidated by smoking fish, try using liquid smoke<\/a> like we do in this luscious salmon appetizer. Serve with buttery crackers, dill and cream cheese, and don't forget lots of lemon and capers for garnish.<\/p>\r\n \"A magazine featured this recipe years ago, and it's still my favorite way to serve salmon. Just add crackers for a super simple yet elegant appetizer.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Norma Fell, Boyne City, Michigan<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n Oak-scented bourbon forms the base of a sweet and tangy sauce that's fantastic drizzled over grilled salmon. We recommend sticking with bourbon vs whiskey<\/a> because the caramelly notes blend well with the brown sugar. For a booze-free version, you could use two teaspoons of vanilla extract in place of the bourbon.<\/p>\r\n \"This bourbon-glazed salmon is ready in minutes and requires only a handful of ingredients. Pair it with a green salad and couscous to have the perfect meal. If you don't like the taste of bourbon, you can use cola or brewed coffee.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n The best types of salmon for smoking are sockeye, king and coho. We like to use hickory chips for this hearty, smoky-sweet salmon dish, but you could also throw in fruity alder, sweet apple or smoky oak.<\/p>\r\n \"I found this recipe in an Alaska fishing guide. Now it's the only way we do salmon. The brine gives it a sweet caramelized coating, and the hickory wood chips give it a distinct smoky flavor.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Judy Ashby, Jamestown, Tennessee<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n If you're looking for more dependable dishes to add to your repertoire, this tender, flaky salmon fits the bill. Baking the fish in aluminum foil locks in the lemony flavor and makes cleanup a breeze.<\/p>\r\n \"Baking salmon in foil is an easy technique that can also be used on the grill. This quick recipe uses lemon zest and slices plus garlic for flavor, but you could also try other citrus fruits, herbs and spices.\" \u2014<\/em>Taste Recipes Test Kitchen<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n Before making this rich, smoky-sweet salmon, make sure to read our beginner's guide to cedar plank grilling<\/a>. It's not as intimidating as it sounds! And the payoff is tender, smoky fish that'll impress everyone at your dinner table.<\/p>\r\n \"Here's my go-to entree for a warm-weather cookout. The salmon has a rich, grilled taste that's enhanced by the savory blackberry sauce. It's a nice balance of sweet, smoky and spicy.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Stephanie Matthews, Tempe, AZ<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n We love a no-cook dish<\/a> that comes together in the food processor. This smoked salmon spread is fantastic served with crackers or smeared on a bagel. A few extra shakes of Tabasco add lots of lovely tang, or you can tweak the flavor profile by using smoked trout.<\/p>\r\n \"There are plenty of ways to enjoy smoked salmon dip, from smearing it on a toasted bagel for brunch to serving it with cheese and crackers at a party. No matter how you serve this salmon dip, it's sure to be a new favorite.\" \u2014<\/em>Taste Recipes Test Kitchen<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n If you can't find salmon steaks in your supermarket, check the frozen seafood<\/a> aisle. Otherwise, you may have to visit your local seafood market or find an online retailer. Ruby, the recipe creator, says you can easily swap salmon for halibut too.<\/p>\r\n \"After our children were married and gone, I prepared salmon steaks often for my husband and myself, especially on our anniversary. It was one of our favorites. We found that one of the nicest ways to enjoy each other's company was to have a lovely meal together.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Ruby Williams, Bogalusa, Louisiana<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n Deviled eggs get a smoky upgrade with flakes of lush smoked salmon. It's the perfect finger food for a party. Check out all of our delicious deviled egg variations<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n \"Flaky salmon and creamy sauce go so well over hard-boiled eggs. Drizzle the sauce or serve it on the side; it's great either way.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Marinela Dragan, Portland, Oregon<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/a><\/div>
