40 Healthy Salmon Recipes

Baked salmon recipes, grilled salmon recipes, salmon salad, salmon soups and more! These 40 healthy salmon recipes will make you the master of this omega 3-rich fish.

Awhile ago, one of my friends sheepishly told me that preparing healthy salmon recipes intimidates her, so she only orders salmon in restaurants. I was surprised because this is someone who I consider to be a very good cook. It turns out that she had a bad experience with cooking salmon years ago, before she had many meals under her belt, and she convinced herself that she and salmon just weren’t meant to be.

I’m guessing that she’s not the only one out there that feels that way. Believe me, I’ve served up my fair share of overcooked or under-seasoned salmon recipes over the years. So, I pulled together some of my favorite salmon dinner ideas from Cookin’ Canuck and from some of my favorite blogs. The result? A list of 40 healthy salmon recipes that will turn you into a salmon master!

If you make any of the recipes from Cookin’ Canuck, I’d love to see your photos on Instagram! Just use the hashtag #COOKINCANUCK and I’ll be sure to find them.
