As we approach the start of a new year, I’ve lined up five healthy, simple, and creative salmon recipes to make waves at the dinner table. These are the best easy salmon recipes!

I’m a mega fan of salmon for supper – it’s packed with omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and a host of essential nutrients, salmon not only will fuel your body but also provide a versatile canvas for your culinary imagination.  Just a 3-oz portion of salmon boasts 22g protein and only 155 calories, and that’s a win for my training diet.

These salmon recipes offer something for everyone – and even the non-fish fans will fall in love (I hope)!

Garlic Butter Salmon & Mushrooms – Whip out your skillet and prepare this weeknight salmon recipe in just 15 minutes – it’s low-carb and delicious. I love how the mushrooms serve as sponges to sop up the buttery, garlic goodness. One of my all-time favorite salmon skillet dinners (because yee-haw, I’m a huge mushroom fan too).

Strawberry-Chipotle Salmon (with Quinoa Salad) – this quick and easy meal shines bright with a salmon glaze made jarred strawberry jam (I use a sugar-free variety), soy sauce, and canned chipotle peppers that have been chopped up! Sweet and spicy!

Creamy Coconut Lime Salmon Skillet – this low-carb, paleo-friendly skillet meal is rich and satisfying! Salmon poaches in coconut milk and is so tender and delicious – I like to serve it with cauliflower rice.

Cranberry-Orange Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner – This 30-minute salmon meal cooks up entirely on a standard rimmed baking sheet. Green beans, cranberries and citrus slices create a memorable medley of flavor – this salmon sheet pan dinner is elegant enough for a holiday celebration, yet easy-peasy for a busy night.

Grilled Salmon Zucchini Quinoa Burgers – a fresh and fit spin on a traditional patty – so juicy and tasty! Sandwich between the bun of your choosing and load up with toppings! This is a total mom win that sneaks in extra veggies and nutrients to “burger” night.
