6 Ideas for Cooking Salmon
Date-night salmon, dinner-party salmon, quick-AF salmon: We’ve got recipe ideas for all of them to make in your HexClad pans, whether you’re a committed salmon lover or are just looking to dip a toe in those waters.
GINGER-SCALLION SALMON BURGERS
"Have griddle, will make beyond-delicious salmon burgers."
Okay, so the slogan doesn’t quite work, but the sentiment stands: If you love salmon, you love burgers, and if you have a HexClad Hybrid Double Burner Griddle, then there’s little standing in between you and a batch of ideal salmon burgers.
It's a good idea to hand-chop the salmon so the pieces maintain texture and integrity, leading to a tastier burger with a better mouthfeel. The patties are seasoned and held together with scallions, ginger, cilantro, lime zest, breadcrumbs, egg and a dash of Primal Kitchen Yum Yum Sauce. Each patty is topped with ribbons of quick-pickled carrot and cucumber and sandwiched between griddled buns. Once you try it, you’re probably going to agree that these are the best salmon burgers out there.

SALMON ALMONDINE
Date night at home on the books and wondering what to cook? Why not try this elegant (and extremely easy) recipe for salmon almondine, a French classic that combines toasted, sliced almonds with brown butter and capers, for the perfect marriage of bright, nutty, and rich flavors. Pair salmon almondine with simply steamed broccolini or green beans and roasted potatoes for a balanced and delicious meal. P.S. if you’d like to make this recipe for a crowd, double, triple or even quadruple the recipe to suit and increase your pan from the 10” Hybrid Fry Pan to the 12” Hybrid Fry Pan or 14” Hybrid Fry Pan.

ONE-SKILLET GARLIC-BUTTER SALMON AND ASPARAGUS
This recipe for a one-pan salmon dinner has got it all: a short ingredient list, a crowd-pleasing pairing of salmon and asparagus, and—perhaps most importantly—a delightful pan sauce to pour over everything once it’s cooked. You’ll start by searing the salmon, then quickly sautéing the asparagus, and finishing with the pan sauce. It’s a winning formula that can be used for any number of fish and veg combinations, from cod and broccoli to hake and green beans to trout and zucchini.

CITRUS-ROASTED SALMON WITH SALSA VERDE
Calling all lazyish cooks who still want to put a gorgeous centerpiece on the table for a special occasion!
If that’s you, you’ll love this recipe for a side of salmon that roasts in your Hybrid Roasting Pan alongside rounds of citrus and gets topped with a spicy, umami-rich salsa verde. This salmon recipe calls for a large, three-pound single fillet of salmon, but if you can’t find it or would rather the fish already be cut into single servings, opt for eight (six-ounce) fillets, instead.

SICILIAN SALMON WITH GARLIC BROCCOLI & TOMATO RECIPE
We’ve got three words to describe this easy one-pan salmon dinner: beautiful, simple, and healthy. The flavors riff on Sicilian classics like olives, cherry tomatoes, garlic, and oregano, but the ingredients are all supermarket staples. To make it, you’ll start by searing the salmon, then cook the broccoli until just tender, add in the tomatoes and seasonings, then add some wine to make a quick pan sauce. All that’s left to do is stir in the olives and add the salmon back in to heat through and you’ve got dinner. Looking to stretch the meal slightly further? Serve it over short-grain brown rice.
