I like it baked with a little lemon juice, salt and pepper and steamed broccoli/beans

Melt a tub of Philadelphia and half a tub of crème fraiche in a pan. Cook 300 - 400g pasta shapes (any will do - I like conchiglie). Grill salmon. Chop lots of coriander.

Flake salmon into melted stuff. Add cooked pasta. Sprinkle coriander on top. Serve.

This Mary Berry recipe is one I've made more than once - tastes good, quick and simple to make, and can easily be altered to add more or different vegetables, and to increase or decrease the spice levels. I use ordinary peppers and courgettes and I add chunks of aubergine (or baby aubergines), baby corn, baby mushrooms or sliced mushrooms and mangetout or sugarsnaps.

Mary Berry's all-in-one-pan salmon traybake, bursting with Thai flavours and fresh vegetables. For a more filling meal, serve with steamed or boiled rice.

Either salmon piccata - shallots, garlic, lemon, butter, white wine, capers and parsley in an emulsified pan sauce.

Or, a more subtle creamy variation of the sauce with added cream and dill instead of the parsley.

Or sorrel instead of the dill.

Or play around with all of these variations until you find one you like best. I love capers but I know some people don't.

Up to you if you want a crispy skin, doing it all in the pan as fillets (that's what I like) or put a bit of seasoning and flour on it to have it crispy without the skin.

Or oven bake a large side or whatever.

Fresh horseradish goes surprisingly well with salmon too. Either as part of a crust or in a creamier style of the sauce like the one above.

If you go for dill and horseradish flavours, you could do a contrasting cold, creamy sauce instead and make it a bit Scandi with more cucumber, radish and salad things

It's such a good time of year for vegetables and salad and those are the salmon things I fancy right now. Buttery garlicky lemony capery saucy covered spring vegetables with the fish or Scandi crunchy creamy dill and horseradish salad. Lots of green to set off the pink, either way.

I do chipotle salmon, a mix of chipotle paste, soy sauce, and a bit of tamarind paste and lemon juice spread over the salmon and marinaded for a couple of hours or overnight, served with rice with veg and watercress in it. Or my most recent simplest ever is a sesame chilli sauce i got in sainsburys just drizzled over and cooked in air fryer, delicious.

Turnitoffnonagain · 24/05/2026 14:17

I like them dribbled with pesto and a bit of feta cheese, loosely foil wrapped then baked.
Served with roasted baby tomatoes and salad potatoes. Or flaked and served with herby cous cous.

GrumpySparkler · 24/05/2026 15:36

Salmon fillets in a baking dish. In a mug mix 4 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1tsp garlic granules, 0.5tsp ginger granules. Pour over the fillets, bake for 25mins and serve with rice and tender stem broccoli. Simple but delicious!

Justbecauseyoucandoesntmeanyoushould · 24/05/2026 15:39

Gently fry a sliced red onion sprinkled with chilli powder in a little oil or butter. Cook salmon in an air fryer or under grill. Cook some tagliatelle. Drain pasta. Add it and the flaked salmon to the frying pan with fresh baby spinach and a good dollop of crème fraîche.

We had salmon teriyaki this week. Made it with pak choi and noodles.

I can't seem to copy the link. The recipe was on the blog 'eat with clarity' and it's the baked teriyaki salmon recipe.

I’ve posted this before and a few people liked it but the OP was a bit snippy about it not being “clean” til someone corrected her

Salmon Fillets in Pan

Add:

Boursin
Capers
Spinach
Cherry Tomatoes

Bosh. Done. Serve with pasta.

I do the Waitrose recipe with ordinary salmon cooked in the oven first, rather than smoked salmon

PunksVersusBrats · 24/05/2026 19:08

Finnish Lohikeitto. I had it in Helsinki a few years ago and it's now a family favourite and the teens request it on a regular basis. We have it with Lidl's seeded bread rather than the traditional rye bread accompaniment 😋

If you follow Taming Twins on Insta, she does a salmon with roast courgettes, feta and pesto couscous which is lovely.

Just to be silly and in honour of your user name, OP, @Marmaladeaddict

I present to you, marmalade siracha salmon!

It's spicy duck à l'orange, only fishy. Might be nice, you never know. The colour clash between the pink and orange would certainly "pop" as they say.

I very nearly said that myself and @EineReiseDurchDieZeit I'm glad that somebody else likes capers.

I like them too. They really jazz up a fish dish.

Socialclimber12 · 24/05/2026 20:53

I had this in Canada. Breadcrumbs mixed with, mixed herbs salt and pepper, patted into top of salmon. Tiny knobs of butter all along top then a drizzle of maple syrup (I substitute honey if I don’t have any). Bake in air fryer for 14 mins

Strokethefurrywall · 24/05/2026 21:06

Salmon steak, lemon pepper and Greek seasoning (or oregano). Cook on the bbq.
I have this at least 1-2 times a week. Sometimes husband will pan fry with the oregano and some drizzled honey.
