Here are our top flavors we recommend when cooking salmon!

1. Citrus
   Flavors such as lemon, lime, and even orange work really well with salmon.
   
   
2. Dill
   This herb has been used for centuries and pairs exceptionally well with salmon. Add it as a garnish, in cooking liquid, when brining, or add to a marinade.  
   
   
3. Soy Sauce and Ginger
   The umami flavor of soy sauce and the warmth of ginger create a delicious combination with salmon. If Asian flavor inspire you, we also really like the combination of lemongrass and miso!
   
   
4. Honey and Mustard
   The sweetness of honey and the tanginess of mustard create a fantastic balance with salmon. This is a classic flavor combo – especially of you like mustard. We recommend starting with dijon and exploring from there.
   
   
5. Maple Syrup
   The rich, smoky sweetness of maple syrup pairs well with salmon. The sugars will also caramelize faster in the oven or grill, giving your salmon a crunchy crust. Or combine maple syrup and mustard, like in this recipe. 
   
   
6. Garlic and Butter
   The combination of garlic and butter adds richness and depth to salmon. Honestly, it's perfect with any and all food. Can't go wrong with garlic and butter!
