Sourced from the sustainably managed wild waters, wild salmon dishes are not only a taste sensation but are also packed with nutrients. Both wild Sockeye and King Salmon are highly rich in nutrients including essential DHA for brain growth and EPA that reduces the risk of heart ailments. With this in mind, let’s delve into some outstanding wild salmon recipes you'd love to try and enjoy over and over again.

Getting the right flavor and tenderness out of your wild salmon need not be a struggle. Poaching, for instance, keeps lean wild sockeye juicy and tender. One popular poached recipe simmers wild salmon in a heartwarming concoction of turmeric, ginger, fresh corn, and tomatoes in coconut sauce.

Wild salmon also works effectively in making delicious salmon cakes. Be it canned or fresh wild salmon, they take on a crispy exterior with a moist and flaky interior. Complemented with a robust garlic-basil aioli, this dish is simply irresistible.

If quick and easy is your preference, pan-searing wild salmon is the way to go. Served with a light sauce of butter, capers, and lemon lends an elegant touch to this dinner dish. For the oven roasting enthusiasts, you can never go wrong with a citrusy, sweet brown sugar glaze. This simple recipe brings out the juiciness of the wild salmon.

There's a lot you can do with a whole wild salmon - broiling it for instance brings out the wonderful, rich taste of the fish. This works especially well with vibrant, soy-based sauce. If you're in the mood for contrasts, pairing your rich wild salmon with bright citrus slices, pungent olives and a parsley salad gives a satisfying opposition of flavors and textures. You can play around with different cooking methods, from slow-roasting to a quick oven roast leaving the salmon juicy and delicious, to grilling for an embarrassingly simple yet flexible option.

The versatility of wild salmon extends to healthier recipes. Try the gingery stir-fried rice, a quick and healthy wild salmon recipe that can easily incorporate leftover salmon fillets. If you're after simplicity and speed, then the sheet pan wild salmon recipe is right for you. With chives, whole grain mustard, and olive oil as a flavorsome crust, this dish can be prepared and cooked in just 20 minutes.

For a flavorful surprise, try infusing your wild salmon with a dill and shallot marinade, then broil it for a perfect dinner dish. The slightly tangy sauce made from sour cream, mustard, lemon juice, and vinegar marries well with the gently marinated wild salmon. As a chef Marco Canora once attested, wild salmon dishes like these are "very simple for such great results."
