A platter of glistening pink, tender fish dressed up with sprigs of rosemary and ruby-red cranberries doesn’t just sit quietly on the holiday table – it commands attention.
That’s the beauty of easy Christmas salmon, a dish that looks like it belongs at a fine dining restaurant but takes surprisingly little effort to pull off at home.
In a season where turkey and ham often hog the spotlight, salmon sneaks in with elegance, flavor, and a welcome freshness.
Some keep it classic with baked fillets topped in lemon butter and herbs, others lean festive with maple glazes, cranberry sauces, or even pomegranate seeds scattered like ornaments on a tree.
A few recipes even transform salmon into appetizers, with crostini, dips, or smoked slices that disappear before you’ve had a chance to refill the tray.
