    Four Ingredient Jammin Salmon

    Jump to Recipe

    With a name like Jammin Salmon, you know it HAS to be good! No seriously. This is one of the easiest, most delicious salmon recipes I've ever eaten! AND it can be on the dinner table in less than 30 minutes. Impressive!

    I've been trying to get more salmon into mine and my husband's diet.

    Since salmon is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, and it's a great source of protein, I'm more than happy to incorporate this fast and easy salmon recipe into my menu plan on a semi-regular basis.

    This easy yet impressive jammin salmon is sure to please your family and friends with minimal time or effort on your part!

    The ingredient list:

    • Salmon Fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)
    • Low Sugar Strawberry Jam
    • Olive Oil
    • Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
    • Salt and Pepper

    Additional jam flavor suggestions for Jammin salmon:

    • Blueberry
    • Apricot
    • Orange Marmalade
    • Raspberry
    • Blackberry
    • Plum
    • Grape
    • I recommend using a low sugar, or sugar-free jam, but the choice is yours.

    Jammin Salmon is a light and healthy dinner that's perfect any night of the week.

    Why this recipe works:

    I haven't always been a salmon lover.

    To me, the flavor has always been on the strong side and a little "fishier" in taste than I usually enjoy.

    However, as time goes by, I'm becoming more, and more of a salmon lover and I've grown to appreciate it's unique flavor and meaty texture.

    With this recipe for 4 Ingredient Jammin Salmon, the sweetness of the strawberry jam along with the little bit of heat from the crushed red pepper flakes marries beautifully with the strong, but not overpowering flavor of the salmon.

    This recipe idea came to me in the middle of the night, so I knew it was going to be a winner. Sometimes the best things in life have a way of finding you all on their own, and when you're not trying to find them. 🙂

    • Salmon is loaded with potassium.
    • It's high in B vitamins.
    • Salmon aids in proper thyroid function.

    Another way I've served this strawberry glazed salmon is by flaking the cooled salmon over a salad with assorted lettuces and berries. It's really incredible and makes a great lunch or light supper. Try it. You're going to LOVE Jammin Salmon that way, too!

      I've never thought to use jam as a marinade/rub - good idea!
