Looking for a salmon recipe that’s elegant enough for Shabbat or Yom Tov, but simple enough for a weeknight dinner? This Leek Salmon has you covered. A tender, juicy side of salmon is topped with sweet, caramelized leeks mixed with creamy mayonnaise, zesty whole-grain mustard, and a splash of fresh lime or lemon juice. The leeks bake up golden and crisp, giving you a gorgeous presentation and incredible flavor in every bite.

Perfect for Rosh Hashanah (as leeks and fish are both traditional simanim foods), or any festive meal, this salmon dish is naturally dairy-free, easy to prepare, and feeds a crowd—making it a hostess’s dream. Serve it warm straight out of the oven, or enjoy it room temperature for a make-ahead main dish that pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, rice pilaf, or a fresh green salad.

Whether you’re searching for easy salmon recipes for dinner, a holiday fish recipe, or simply want a healthy, flavor-packed way to serve salmon, this Leek Salmon will quickly become a family favorite.

Directions

Prepare the Leek Salmon

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lay salmon on it.

  2. Clean and trim leeks, keeping about one inch (two and a half centimeters) of green. Slice.

  3. Heat oil in a large frying pan and sauté the leeks until just softened, about five minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for five minutes, then add in salt, pepper, mayonnaise, mustard, and juice. Layer evenly on top of the salmon.

  4. Bake for 18 minutes, then broil for two minutes until the leeks are brown and crispy.

a side of salmon is too much for us. how would I need to adjust it for 4 fillets weighing about 1 to 1 1/2 lbs?
