Six Salmon Packet Recipes for Real Meals, Fast
When you’re short on time and energy, it can be difficult to come up with three square meals a day, let alone three healthy ones. Our wild caught Alaskan pink salmon packets have always been a reliable shortcut to nutritious (and tasty) meals, but once we added bold new flavors to them, they became a true superhero pantry staple. Each convenient packet instantly adds lean protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and craveable flavors like our new Everything Bagel and Maple Smokehouse Salmon to your meals—and all you have to do is tear it open. The next time you need something healthy in a hurry, give one of these six salmon recipes a shot.
Spicy Salmon Cucumber Boats
This simple appetizer adds freshness, crunch, and a little spice to any backyard BBQ or potluck menu. (And not a moment too soon, because cookout weather will be here before you know it.) If you’re cooking for a crowd that doesn’t love spice, try using sweet chili sauce instead of sriracha. You’ll get all the flavor of the hotter stuff without the burn.
Maple Smokehouse Salmon Southwest Tortilla Wrap
If you only have a couple of minutes to throw together tomorrow’s lunch, a quick tortilla wrap is a lifesaver. This version combines our sweet-and-savory Maple Smokehouse Salmon with veggies, beans, cheese, and fresh jalapeños for a deliciously spicy, smoky, nutrient-dense meal in minutes.
Bagel with Everything Bagel Salmon
Can’t get enough of everything bagels? Neither can we, which is why we developed a savory, garlicky Everything Bagel flavor for our salmon packets. This recipe was inspired by a classic everything bagel with lox, but with the “everything” flavor turned all the way up. On top of being incredibly flavorful, it’s also packed with protein and ready in minutes—in other words, it’s your new favorite breakfast.
Quick and Easy Salmon Poke Bowl
Poke is an expensive habit, and this at-home version is anything but. Just dress up our Wild-Caught Alaskan Pink Salmon with a simple sesame-soy sauce marinade, then add spicy mayo and fresh veggies to a bowl of freshly cooked sushi rice. Once you get the hang of this recipe, you can experiment with different sauces and toppings, just like your favorite poke spot.
Grain Bowl with Everything Bagel Salmon
Sometimes you need something a little more substantial than a salad for lunch—like this hearty, satisfying, healthy grain bowl. Loaded with brown rice, spinach, broccoli sprouts, fresh veggies, and beans, this recipe is rich in fiber and vitamins. Top it off with a packet of Everything Bagel salmon for protein and healthy fats and you’ve got a delicious meal that’ll keep you full until at least dinner time. (Pro tip: For a different flavor profile, try this recipe with our Lemon Pepper Salmon. It also tastes great with the fresh dill garnish.)
Weeknight Sheet Pan Roasted Veggies with Maple Smokehouse Salmon
If you can toss some chopped veggies on a sheet pan and turn on the oven, you’ve done the “hard part” of this weeknight-friendly dinner recipe. Once those veggies are roasted to perfection, top them with a packet of Maple Smokehouse Salmon and dig in. Some crusty, whole-grain bread or steamed rice would round out the meal nicely, but we won’t judge if you eat right off the sheet pan.
