Often labelled as one of the healthiest types of fish to eat due to its high omega-3 fatty acids and protein levels, salmon is just as delicious as it is nutritious. This pink fish is enjoyed on its own, whether that be raw, steamed or grilled with a light sauce. It also goes beautifully tossed through a salad or pasta dish, smoked and layered upon a pizza, or flaked throughout a flavoursome quiche. These salmon recipes showcase our favourite ways to cook this brilliant piece of seafood for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
