25 beautiful baked salmon dishes to enjoy

The tasty way to get more fish in your diet.

Tasty and tender, baked salmon is a deliciously versatile dish to serve as a quick dinner, or as the main event these holidays.

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. When baked salmon becomes buttery and tender and allows you to walk away and let it cook while you do other things. Whether you have guests or children to attend to or just like to sit and enjoy the evening while dinner cooks. Baked is the way to go.
