Chef’s Tips
- Some of the most useful information I learned in culinary school is how certain foods and flavors pair with each other, and salmon loves dairy! Our creamy dill sauce for salmon is a deliciously rich sauce that’ll elevate a simple salmon dish in less than 5 minutes.
- If you’re looking for a healthy side dish to complete your meal, check out these 15 sides for salmon to get inspired by healthy and seasonal ingredients.
- Easily learn how to remove salmon skin before cooking. All you need is your fresh salmon, a knife, and a cutting board.
Seasonal Note: Salmon is great year-round, but we always look for sustainably sourced salmon by checking out the Monterey Bay Aquarian Seafood Watch. They publish up-to-date recommendations for seafood in your area, including where to find the best Alaskan King Salmon during the summer.
