The same old plain baked salmon can get boring, but with a few top-rated, delicious salmon recipes up your sleeve, you can find new inspiring ways to serve up your favorite fish. From the best baked and fancy salmon recipes, to teriyaki and pan-fried salmon dishes, we have the best seafood meals to brighten your routine and fight mealtime fatigue.
Health benefits of salmon
Before you head out to the fishmonger at your local supermarket, it’s important to note that salmon and other fatty fish are key parts of a healthy diet. Seafood provides key nutrients including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (which are great for brain health), iron, choline, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and selenium, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Fish also adds a great source of protein to your plate—just 100 grams (about 3.5 ounces) of salmon has nearly 20 grams of protein, with less saturated fats than some meat options, according to the USDA.
Plus, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends eating fatty fish, like salmon, twice a week for its heart-health benefits. Eating fish and seafood can even lower your risk for cardiovascular disease and may help lower cholesterol, according to the AHA. Salmon in your diet can also promote bone health, encourage a healthy body weight, and decrease the risk for colorectal cancer, according to the FDA.
Top diets consistently recommend incorporating the fish into meal plans. The Mediterranean diet, which has been named one of the best diets overall year after year, and the DASH diet, which is similar but focuses on lowering blood pressure, recommend eating fatty fish twice a week.
Ahead, explore some of the best salmon recipes to inspire healthy meals all week long.
