10 Easy Ways to Use Salmon Spice Blend

Salmon is one of those foods that can feel simple, healthy, elegant, or special depending on how you season it.

A good Salmon Spice Blend can make weeknight salmon taste like something from a nice restaurant — without needing a complicated recipe.

Our Salmon Spice Blend was created to bring flavor to salmon and seafood, but it can also be used in many other ways. Try it on fish, shrimp, roasted vegetables, dips, spreads, foil packets, salad, rice bowls, and more.

Whether you bake, grill, pan-sear, roast, or air fry, this blend makes seafood easier and more flavorful.

1. Classic Baked Salmon

Place salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter, then sprinkle with Salmon Spice Blend.

Bake until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Serve with lemon, rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

This is the easiest way to use the blend and a great place to start.

2. Grilled Salmon

Brush salmon with olive oil, then season with Salmon Spice Blend.

Grill until cooked through and lightly charred around the edges.

Add a squeeze of lemon before serving.

This is perfect for summer suppers, cookouts, and easy outdoor meals.

3. Lemon Butter Salmon

Melt butter with a little lemon juice and garlic. Brush over salmon, then sprinkle with Salmon Spice Blend.

Bake, grill, or pan-sear.

The lemon butter brings richness while the spice blend adds flavor and depth.

Serve with potatoes, asparagus, rice, or green beans.

4. Salmon Foil Packets

Place salmon fillets on foil with sliced lemon, zucchini, asparagus, green beans, onions, or potatoes.

Add a little butter or olive oil and sprinkle with Salmon Spice Blend.

Seal the foil packets and bake or grill until the salmon and vegetables are done.

This is an easy cleanup meal and great for camping or grilling.

5. Salmon Patties or Salmon Cakes

Add Salmon Spice Blend to canned or cooked salmon when making salmon patties.

Mix with egg, bread crumbs or cracker crumbs, onion, and a little mayonnaise or mustard.

Form into patties and pan-fry until golden.

Serve with tartar sauce, lemon sauce, or a simple salad.

6. Creamy Salmon Dip

Mix cooked flaked salmon with cream cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of Salmon Spice Blend.

Serve chilled with crackers, baguette slices, vegetables, or toasted pita.

This makes a nice appetizer, party dip, or snack board addition.

7. Salmon Salad Sandwiches

Use Salmon Spice Blend in salmon salad the same way you might season tuna salad.

Mix cooked or canned salmon with mayonnaise, a little mustard, celery, onion, and a light sprinkle of Salmon Spice Blend.

Serve on bread, crackers, lettuce cups, croissants, or wraps.

8. Sheet Pan Salmon & Vegetables

Place salmon and vegetables on one baking sheet.

Try broccoli, carrots, potatoes, asparagus, zucchini, cauliflower, or green beans.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle Salmon Spice Blend over the fish and vegetables.

Roast until everything is tender.

This is a simple family meal with very little cleanup.

9. Seasoned Shrimp or White Fish

This blend is not only for salmon.

Try it on shrimp, cod, halibut, tilapia, walleye, trout, mahi-mahi, or other mild fish.

Toss seafood with olive oil, sprinkle lightly with Salmon Spice Blend, and cook until done.

Serve in tacos, rice bowls, salads, wraps, or with roasted vegetables.

10. Seafood Rice Bowls

Build an easy rice bowl with cooked rice, salmon or shrimp, roasted vegetables, cucumber, avocado, green onions, or greens.

Season the seafood with Salmon Spice Blend before cooking.

Add a drizzle of lemon butter, garlic sauce, teriyaki-style sauce, or a creamy dill sauce.

This is a great way to turn leftovers into a fresh meal.
