The best salmon recipe is often the simplest one. Costco's wild-caught frozen salmon is high quality enough that you don't need to do much — a compound butter of garlic, lemon zest, and herbs does all the work. Roast at high heat for 15 minutes and you have a restaurant-quality piece of fish that pairs with almost any side.

Salmon pasta with a lemon cream sauce is one of those dishes that tastes far more sophisticated than the effort it requires.

The lemon cream sauce is bright and rich in equal measure.
Air Fryer Salmon Bites with Costco Frozen Salmon
Air Fryer Salmon Bites with Costco Frozen Salmon
Cutting salmon into bite-sized pieces before air frying is a revelation — more surface area means more caramelized edges and a higher crunch-to-tender ratio in every bite. Costco's thick frozen salmon fillets are ideal for this because they hold their shape when cubed. Season with garlic, soy, and a touch of honey for a glaze that caramelizes beautifully at high heat.

Making salmon burgers from Costco's Kirkland frozen salmon is faster than a beef burger and results in something that feels genuinely special. Thaw the salmon, pulse it in a food processor with a few binding ingredients, and pan-sear in 4 minutes. A quick lemon-dill aioli made from Kirkland mayo finishes the burger. Better than any frozen salmon patty.
