Eat Better: 17 Delicious, Healthy Salmon Recipes

A quick sauce made of fennel, green olives, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, and chile de arbol gives this flame-kissed salmon a serious flavor punch.

It's worth seeking out yuzu, an East Asian citrus fruit that tastes like a cross between a lemon and a grapefruit, for this simple salmon supper. The juice makes a spectacular glaze when paired with miso, soy sauce, and maple syrup.

When cooked in parchment, salmon steams in its own juices -- it's a neat and healthy way to cook. In this recipe, asparagus and shiitake mushrooms imbue the salmon with their flavors as well. 

Bright-pink salmon matches perfectly with slices of fresh grapefruit -- in flavor as well as color! Creamy avocado softens this lively, flavorful salad.

Make (okay, bake) this healthy salmon, kale, and cabbage dinner in just 30 minutes. Bonus: It's all made on one sheet pan, meaning less cleanup.

Frozen fish sticks aren't particularly glamorous -- or healthy. Try this swankier version, where curry-rubbed salmon fillets are threaded on skewers and grilled. 

Think of this as sushi deconstructed. Cook the salmon (different from sushi, we know!), toast the nori, and toss all the elements in a bowl. Eating healthy never tasted so good (or looked so beautiful)!

Soy sauce, honey, orange juice, sesame oil, and ginger make a terrific teriyaki-like marinade and glaze for fresh salmon fillets. Serve with udon noodles and steamed bok choy.
