Method
 

Lemon Herb Salmon
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then sprinkle with fresh dill and top with lemon slices.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Spicy Honey Garlic Salmon
  1. Whisk together honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl.
  2. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  3. Sear salmon fillets, skin-side down, for 3-4 minutes until crispy.
  4. Flip the salmon, pour the honey garlic sauce over it, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, basting occasionally, until glazed and cooked.
  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
Mediterranean Salmon Salad
  1. Cook salmon fillets using your preferred method (grill, bake, or pan-sear) until flaky, then let them cool slightly and break into large pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
  3. Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, and dried oregano for the dressing.
  4. Add the salmon pieces to the vegetable mixture, pour the dressing over the salad, and gently toss to combine.
  5. Serve chilled or at room temperature, perhaps with a side of pita bread.

Notes

For the Mediterranean Salmon Salad, you can use leftover cooked salmon to save time. Adjust spice levels in the Spicy Honey Garlic Salmon to your preference. Always ensure salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
