We never get tired of salmon, but we always need new, easy salmon recipe ideas for dinner! Salmon has great flavor and silky richness, and it’s extremely versatile. It’s my go-to fish for weeknight meals. And it’s definitely considered a superfood with its high levels of healthful Omega-3 fatty acids (the good-for-you fat).

And so many great sides go with salmon. Of course, it depends on how you are seasoning or saucing your fish, what season it is, and whether baking it in the oven or firing up the grill. Below, you’ll find a slew of ideas for weeknight salmon dinners and a recipe for a simple citrus-marinated salmon with a bright, creamy sauce that takes less than 30 minutes to get on the table. Plus, it includes only 3 ingredients beyond the salmon! What are you waiting for?

You’ll also discover lots of sides paired with the salmon recipes. But you can never go wrong with rice and a simple green salad.

Salmon is extremely versatile, and these easy dinner recipes will perk up the weeknight dinner rotation.
