What to cook with salmon
Salmon cooks fast, flakes beautifully and pairs with lemon, garlic and herbs like it was designed for them. Fresh fillets, smoked slices or a tin — all three are dinner waiting to happen.

Salmon cooking tips
- Start salmon skin-side down in a cold-ish pan for the crispest skin.
- Salmon is at its best just translucent in the centre — it keeps cooking off the heat.
- Pat fillets very dry before searing; moisture is the enemy of crust.
