Eating two servings of salmon a week is a great way to get a healthy dose of omega-3 fish oils. This is a fatty acid that stimulates brain growth and reduces the chances of heart disease. On its own, salmon tends to be quite bland; however, we include four tasty salmon recipes that will ensure your salmon is full of flavor.

Combine the chives, vinegar, ginger, honey, and soy sauce in a bowl. Place the salmon in a large Ziploc plastic bag and add three tablespoons of the sauce mixture and place in the refrigerator to marinate. Cover a baking dish with aluminum foil and spray with a little cooking spray. After 15 minutes in the refrigerator, move the salmon to the baking sheet. Grill the salmon for about six to ten minutes. Drizzle the rest of the soy sauce mixture over the fish. And top with sesame seeds.

Salmon Burgers
Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds king salmon fillet (skinless and boneless)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup of breadcrumbs
1/2 cup red onion (finely chopped)
2 teaspoons horseradish
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 tablespoon rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Addresses:
Cut the salmon into strips. Cut those strips into a cross shape, then continue chopping until the fish is minced. Make sure to remove any bones you can find. In a bowl, mix the salmon and breadcrumbs. When well mixed, add the onion, horseradish, eggs, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt, pepper, and rosemary, then put it in the refrigerator for about half an hour. Let your grill heat up over medium-high heat while you shape the salmon mixture into patties (about eight). Coat each patty lightly with olive oil and then grill the salmon for about five minutes on each side.
