From creamy and rich to light and bright.  These are our 20 best sauce suggestions and recipes you simply must try for salmon.  Some of these recipes and suggestions use our award winning line of handcrafted sauces and condiments and some are simple at home recipes you can make with everyday ingredients like lemon, dill and yogurt. 

Creamy Mustard Sauce

A creamy mustard sauce is a wonderful way to add a rich depth of flavor to all your salmon and white fish recipes.  A spicy mustard such as Dijon or a whole grain mustard with capers add a nice picante flavor to a rich creme fraiche-based sauce.   


Korean BBQ Glazed Salmon

Salmon loves a sweet sticky glaze and so do we.  Glazed in a soy-forward Korean BBQ sauce with the punch of Gochujang, our Korean Raspberry Gochujang BBQ Sauce adds a wonderful umami depth of flavor and spice, cut with the bright acid delivered by whole raspberries.  We promise you wont be disappointed with this one and it's a fast and easy weeknight meal.

Piccata Caponata Sauce

Nothing says salmon quite like white wine, lemon, capers and parsley which is what makes a piccata sauce a perfect choice.  With our Bruschetta Caponata as part of the piccata sauce, it adds the smoky depth of roasted eggplant, garlic, tomatoes and Sicilian green olives with just a spoonful.  A wonderful restaurant-quality sauce for salmon to impress your guests with.

Spicy Salsa Verde 

Sometimes you just want salmon quickly seared or grilled served with something fresh, spicy, bright and tangy.  Our Kiwi Lime Salsa Verde spooned over fish does just that - it adds a fresh lime-y spicy bite that is perfect for summer.  You can even add more depth of flavor by using salsa verde as a marinade prior to cooking your salmon while still using it as a finishing condiment.  It's our favorite salsa for spooning over fish tacos with avocado, shredded cabbage and a sprinkle of Cotija cheese!

Sweet Chili Glaze

Not all sweet chili sauces are created equal.  Our Sweet Chili Orange Sesame Sauce is used to marinate the salmon first, before acting as a glaze under the broiler.  As a sauce, it leans sweet, but is full of those brighter citrus notes and a toasty finish from the roasted sesame oil and tamari.  Mix up your sides to make this a dish for all seasons.

Lemon Mustard Dill Vinaigrette

Salmon and salad with a lemon dill vinaigrette.  This is a great go-to sauce for all your salmon-inspired salads.  Whether you are using smoked salmon, canned salmon or freshly baked and flaked.  You can't go wrong with this classic lemon, mustard and dill combination made by just mixing the juice of fresh lemons with Dijon, fresh dill, a little oil and salt and pepper.

Sichuan (Szechuan) Pepper Sauce

Salmon diced and marinated in our Spicy Sichuan Garlic Dan Dan Sauce results in a sauce bursting with a savory, nutty, spicy overload of flavor.  Serve with rice or noodles and your favorite simple salad greens for a bold low-sugar lunch.

Coconut Peanut Sauce

You can use our Coconut Peanut Sauce in a few different ways with salmon.  By adding extra coconut cream to your peanut sauce you can make a rich, creamy broth to poach your salmon in or you can simply brush peanut sauce over seared salmon fillets and finish under the broiler.  Our Coconut Peanut Sauce is full of all the layered flavors of Southeast Asian cooking, leading with creamy peanut sweetness, but bursting with lime and curried coconut spice.  Delicious!

Chimichurri Sauce

Chimichurri is a quick and easy vibrant Argentinian sauce that is wonderful on salmon.  Simply mix together fresh chopped parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar and red pepper flakes and spoon it over your cooked salmon for a fresh zingy salsa.

Chutney Glazed Salmon

You had me at chutney lol.  Seriously, all of our favorite chutneys can be substituted here, but we love using our Sticky Date Candied Orange Chutney the most on salmon.  With its bright vinegar bite, sweet citrus and background of layered Moroccan spices, it's a combination that just works with salmon.  This is a fancy pants restaurant-quality meal in a flash, because with a great chutney, all the work is basically done for you.

Shawarma Spiced Salmon with Dill Yogurt Sauce

Marinate salmon in this traditional Middle Eastern Shawarma Sauce made from a blend of aromatic spices elevated with the citrus notes of candied oranges and preserved lemons.  Baking or broiling gives the salmon a nice spice crust.  Serve with a yogurt dill sauce on a bed of your favorite salad greens for a delicious healthy salmon lunch or light dinner.

Spicy Tropical Salsa

Another great option for topping salmon is with a tropical salsa.  You can make your own at home with either fresh mango or pineapple diced with fresh cucumber, fresh herbs such as cilantro or basil, diced red peppers and a squeeze of lime or you can keep it really simple and use our Spicy Summer Mango Chutney or Jamaican Jerk Pineapple Chutney and simple add a little fresh cucumber, herbs and a squeeze of lime and be done.  A vibrant tropical salsa makes your salmon dishes summery and bright.  Simply season your salmon and broil or grill until golden and flaky then top with a spicy tropical salsa.  Summer has arrived, all year long!

Vietnamese Marinated Salmon

Marinate and broil salmon in our Nuac Cham inspired, Vietnamese Mint Lime and Chili Sauce.  This sauce adds a sweet yet tangy lime-y and spicy glaze over the salmon.  Keep it summery and light with a few of your favorite salad ingredients, rice or noodles, and an extra side of sauce for dressing and drizzling. 

Japanese Sesame Miso Salmon

Served our Japanese Sesame Miso Sauce as a side sauce on its own, as a glazing marinade for broiled salmon, or combine with mayonnaise for a simple umami-rich cold sauce.  Hot or cold, this is one of the best choices you can make for salmon. 

Recipe Pictured Below:  Grilled Salmon with Japanese Sesame Miso Sauce

Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon

A sweet honey mustard sauce is a wonderful quick and easy glazing sauce for salmon.  Simply mix together honey, wholegrain mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice and salt and pepper.  Pour over salmon and bake in the oven.

Chermoula Sauce

Lemon, fresh chopped herbs, and North African spices make for a vibrant sauce bursting with lemony bold flavor. A great way to bring all your salmon and white fish recipes from ho hum to marvelous.  This sauce is both visually stunning and a delicious way to elevate salmon.  We use our North African Chermoula Sauce and combine it with butter in a quick pan sauce, we then add fresh cilantro, our chermoula sauce and a squeeze of lemon to make a chermoula salsa over top and it's just divine over any fish!  The recipe below features halibut but it's just as delicious over salmon.

Recipe Pictured Below:  Halibut with Chermoula Butter Sauce 

Miso Soy Glazed Salmon

Combine white miso with our Ginger Soy Infusion Sauce in equal parts to create this wonderful Japanese umami-rich glaze known as dengaku.  Marinate the salmon first in the sauce and finish it under the broiler twice, reloading with extra sauce in between for a bubbly caramelized coating.  Also great for eggplant.  Simply one of our favorites.


Lemon Garlic Sauce

Fresh squeezed lemon and chopped garlic - a classic combination for salmon.  For a quick pan sauce, melt butter in a pan, sauté your garlic, add your salmon to cook and then add a squeeze of lemon just before finishing.  You can also fold a little fresh lemon juice and chopped garlic through either sour cream,  yogurt, pureed silken tofu or mayonnaise for a cold salmon sauce in a pinch.  Add additional ingredients such as fresh dill, Dijon or black pepper if desired. 

Teriyaki Glaze

A salmon classic that needs no introduction.  We first use our Ginger Soy Infusion to marinate the salmon, before using our sauce as the base for a thicker, more soy-forward sauce you'd expect from a classic Teriyaki.  Finish under the broiler.

You had me at noodles. Seriously, from sweet to savory, served hot or cold, as a salad, soup, stir-fry or just sauced up and on their own, noodles are anything but ordinary.  While Italian pasta uses durum wheat, there is an insane variety of different starches used in Asian noodles and as a result, so much variety in the styles, textures, colors, and flavors.  And that's before we even add a sauce.  These are our favorite take-out worthy noodle stir fry recipes you simply must try.

1. Korean BBQ Beef and Noodle Stir Fry

A sticky shiny Korean glazed brown rice noodle stir-fry full of vegetables and Korean BBQ beef.  Soy sauce forward, but with the sweetness and spice from Gochujang you'd expect from a Korean noodle sauce.

2. Pad Thai-Style Noodles with Coconut Peanut Sauce

One of everyone's top three noodle dishes.  Not all peanut sauces are created equally.  You need a sauce bursting with lime to hit the high notes of a traditionally tamarind based sauce and our Cambodian Coconut Peanut Sauce delivers that distinct balance of flavors.

3. Vietnamese Pork Noodle Salad

I love the separation of ingredients in a Vietnamese salad using Vermicelli noodles with sides of sliced cucumber and carrots in each their own composed area of the bowl.  Sure you can mix it all together, but experiencing each ingredient alone with an extra side of our Vietnamese Mint Lime and Chili Dressing for dipping is delicious.  This Vietnamese Pork Noodle salad so light and fresh, just says summer.  

4.  Soba Noodle Salad with Japanese Sesame Miso Dressing

Made with buckwheat soba noodles with all the nutritional benefits you would expect from a whole grain noodle, dressed with our umami rich Japanese Sesame Miso Dressing, and a bit of sliced avocado, this noodle salad is almost as simple to make as boiling water.  Literally.

5.  Spicy Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles

If you had to pick your top 3 favorite noodles dishes or close to it, well Dan Dan noodles would have to be in there if you love layers of savory flavor and spice.  A super simple and deeply flavorful dish that is guaranteed to satisfy.  Made with ground pork, our Sichuan Garlic Chili Dan Dan sauce and a few chopped scallions, we'll have you in and out of the kitchen in 15 minutes flat.

6. Beef Ramen Noodle Bowl in Tsuyu Broth

Ramen noodles just went gourmet lol.  Just pick your choice of quality store bought broth, a packet of ramen noodles, season it with our Ginger Soy Infusion Sauce and finish the dish with your choice of veggies, slow cooked beef, mushrooms and a jammy egg.  It's college all grown up.  

7. Lo Mein Noodle Stir Fry with Shrimp and Basil

Start with your choice of vegetables stir fried in a little garlic and sesame oil with any protein you desire (chicken, pork, beef, tofu, shrimp), add your lo mein noodles (egg noodles) and finish it with our Ginger Soy Sauce.  Your new favorite everyday noodle stir-fry!   

8. Udon Noodles in Ginger Soy Dashi Broth

If you've never tried Udon noodles you are missing out.  Fat meaty noodles in a super simple broth seasoned with our Dashi forward Ginger Soy Infusion Sauce.

9.  Vermicelli Noodle Salad with Sweet Chili Dressing

A simple shrimp and noodle salad that is both elegant and satisfying.  Swap out shrimp for chicken and add any fresh herbs you like such as basil, Thai basil or cilantro.  This salad is brought together with a drizzle of our Sweet Chili Orange Sesame Sauce

10.  Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls and Dipping Sauce Trio

Vermicelli noodles layered with as many fresh veggie ingredients as you are willing to fit into that little wrapper.  Its like summer in a sleeping bag, and it's all about the dipping sauce and you don't need to stop at three.  Our favorite dipping sauces for rice paper rolls includes:

Vietnamese Mint Lime and Chili Nuoc Cham Sauce
Sweet Orange Chili Sesame Sauce
Cambodian Coconut Peanut Sauce
Japanese Sesame Miso Sauce

11.  Linguine Pasta with Caponata and Tuna

Not really what I mean when I say noodles, but lets give the Italians a shout out anyway.  A wonderful pasta noodle dish full of slow stewed vegetables of the Mediterranean, garlic olives and capers. Caponata Pasta, a dish with tang, a little sweetness but light enough to let the flavor of a good pasta noodle shine.

12. Sichuan Short Rib Beef Soup with Japanese Wheat Noodles

Nothing beats the depth of flavor in this slow braised short rib soup seasoned with our Sichuan Chili Garlic Dan Dan Sauce.  We used Japanese wheat noodles in this dish, but any noodles will work fabulously.  If you haven't planned ahead, you can totally make this using shaved beef and make it like a hot pot shabu shabu, cooking the beef in the spicy simmering broth.

13.  Mie Goreng Noodles with Chili Sambal

A sweet sticky noodle dish, hailing from Indonesia and Malaysia.  Ketcap manis, oyster sauce and our Ginger Soy Infusion Sauce are combined and finished with a little chili sambal to sauce up and really round out these favorite "take-out worthy" noodles. 

14. Korean BBQ Gochujang Tofu Bowls with Vermicelli Noodles

Baked tofu gives bite and extra texture before glazed with our Korean Raspberry Gochugang BBQ Sauce.  With all the soy sauce, spice, and sesame you'd expect from a classic Korean BBQ sauce, but with the elevated tang of whole raspberries.  This recipe is served over a cold vermicelli noodle salad, but these glazed tofu bites are just as happy tossed through hot egg noodles, brown rice noodles or Hokkien noodles.

15.  Pork Wontons with Spicy Sichuan Sauce

Wonton dumplings filled with pork, ginger and scallions and tossed with Sichuan Chili Garlic Dan Dan Sauce and fresh greens.  Make these part of your next at home dim sum dinner party.

What are the very best sauces for dipping?  Well that all depends on what is being dipped.

So, if you like me, have been caught dipping every leftover piece of burger, French fry, chicken finger or pizza crust in the plethora of sauces out of your fridge door, than you know there are a lot of dipping sauces to choose from.  Will I pick hot sauce today?  A creamy dressing....maybe hot sauce mixed in the dressing, a spicy sharp mustard, a sweet and spicy Asian sweet chili sauce, barbecue sauce?  Maybe I will pick D.  All The Above.

Out of all the sauces we choose to dip with, these are our favorites; the very best sauces for dipping.  Hold on, there are a lot.


1. Ketchup - Spicy Tomato Kasundi Sauce

Before any of us knew dipping was a thing, there was ketchup.  They say you can't improve on perfect, but with our Spicy Tomato Kasundi BBQ sauce, I'd say we came pretty close.  It has all the qualities you'd expect from a great dipping sauce and so much more.  With layers of flavor from spices like cumin, mustard, smoked chili and garlic, our Spicy Tomato Kasundi Sauce is tangy, sweet, smoky and spicy and is a cross between a tomato ketchup and a smoky barbecue sauce.  Combine this sauce with mayo for a minute ready Yum Yum Sauce for dipping hibachi grilled steak, shrimp, chicken and vegetables or combine with horseradish for a killer cocktail sauce.

Dip fries and baked potatoes, sausages, sliders, shrimp cocktail, kebabs, wings, grilled cheese toasties, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks.... mix with mayonnaise for a remoulade  sauce for crab cakes, fried shrimp, oysters and vegetables.  Its versatile, you get the idea.

2. Sweet Chili Sauce - Sweet Chili Orange Sesame Sauce

The gateway sauce to dipping.  Our Sweet Chili Orange Sesame Sauce is more than just your usual sweet and spicy sweet chili sauce.  With layers of fresh citrus, savory umami undertones from organic tamari and a toasty sesame finish, this will be your new favorite sweet chili sauce for dipping.

3. Tsuyu - Ginger Soy Infusion Sauce

What is the dipping sauce that comes with Japanese tempura? Its Tsuyu, a light dashi forward blend of soy sauce, rice wine, sweetened with mirin. A Japanese dipping sauce staple and the inspiration behind our umami rich, award winning Ginger Soy Infusion Sauce.  The ultimate gyoza (potsticker) and wonton sauce.  A wonderful dipping sauce for vegetables, tofu, noodles, and rice paper rolls.  A fantastic marinade and dipping sauce for wings, lettuce wraps, sushi, tempura, grilled kebabs like Yakitori and Kushiyaki (chicken, salmon, and beef) and so much more.

4. Salsa Verde - Kiwi Lime Salsa Verde

Not just for corn chips!  Not many store bought salsa verdé's taste as if they're freshly made but our Kiwi Lime Salsa Verde delivers superb fresh flavor that is full of tang and spice thanks to fresh fire-roasted kiwi, tomatillo, jalapeño peppers, fresh lime juice and loads of fresh cilantro. 

Wonderful for dipping all your favorite Mexican appetizers like quesadillas, flautas, tamales and taquitos and delicious when used to make Salsa Verde Guacamole and Queso Verde. Reaching beyond your traditional Mexican faire, this salsa verdé can be crossed over to other cuisines including Indian, Middle Eastern and Caribbean and can be used for dipping samosa, pakoras, falafel, grilled meats, vegetables, seafood, koftas, poppadom, roti and naan breads.

5. Miso Sauce - Japanese Sesame Miso Dipping Sauce and Dressing

A versatile Japanese miso sauce is a staple that is packed with umami flavor.  Our Japanese Sesame Miso Sauce is light, creamy and nutty, it's full of savory notes with fresh ginger and garlic and makes a great dressing, marinade, glaze and dipping sauce.

Use our Japanese Sesame Miso Sauce to dip shrimp, salmon, rice paper rolls, sushi, lettuce wraps, grilled skewers like Yakitori and Kushiyaki, chicken schnitzel and roasted veggies.  You can also make an Asian inspired aioli dipping sauce by mixing our Japanese Sesame Miso with mayonnaise.

6.  Chutney - Spicy Summer Mango Chutney

Chutney originated from India and is essentially a relish or sauce made with a combination of fruits or vegetables, herbs, vinegar and spices.  It can be a sauce that is raw or cooked, it can be sweet, spiced and savory or vinegary and herbaceous.  Varieties include dried fruit chutney, tomato chutney, date chutney, pineapple chutney, fresh cilantro or mint chutney and of course your classic Major Grey's or mango chutney.  A great chutney has so many uses and dipping is one of our favorite ways to use a chutney. We love to use our Spicy Summer Mango Chutney as a dipping sauce.  Its tangy, fresh, summery and spicy.  We think a mango chutney should be a staple in everyone's refrigerator right up there with ketchup, mayo and hot sauce.  

Mango Chutney is a traditional accompaniment for dipping samosa, pakoras, naan and poppadoms.   It's also delicious with coconut shrimp, rice paper rolls, seafood, crab cakes and fish cakes, grilled chicken, kebabs and wings.  Mix mango chutney with cream cheese for a creamy mango dip for crackers, lavosh and crostini.

Recipe Pictured Below:  Grilled Indian Chicken with Mango Chutney Dipping Sauce

7.  Satay Sauce - Cambodian Coconut Peanut Sauce

Although satay actually refers to grilled meat on a skewer, the accompanying peanut sauce for dipping has adopted the name "satay" as well.  Our satay sauce, Cambodian Coconut Peanut Sauce, is a dippers dream sauce.  Bursting with lime to cut the richness off the creamy peanut and coconut cream and a well rounded heat from curry paste and chili makes this peanut sauce a great cooking sauce over all, and perfect for dipping.

Use peanut sauce to dip beef or chicken satay, spring rolls, rice paper rolls, shrimp, tofu, wings, noodles, rice cakes, fish cakes, lettuce wraps, crudités and vegetables.

11. Green Tomato Pickle - Green Tomato Jalapeno Savory Spread

There you have it, some quick and easy recipes for fruit vinegar salad dressings.  As you can see a vinaigrette can be made however you like - simply by adjusting the ratios of vinegar vs oil vs spices to get the desired vinaigrette of your liking.  Want a vinaigrette that has more tang?  Add an extra splash of vinegar or lemon juice or decrease the amount of oil in the recipe.  Want it a bit sweeter?  Add a little extra fruit vinegar or a dash of sugar or honey.  Want it more complex?  Add some additional fresh herbs such as Rosemary, Thyme or Oregano or add extra Dijon mustard, fresh garlic or chopped shallots.  Want it creamy?  Add a little mayonnaise, sour cream or yogurt.  Don't want oil in your dressing?  Use the fruit vinegars on their own - no mixing with oil is required and if you want to add a little extra zing (if you like your dressings extra tangy) just add an extra splash of traditional vinegar (balsamic, white wine, red wine, apple cider, or white to your recipe).  Adjust the recipes to suit your taste and dietary preferences.   

One thing to keep in mind when you making a vinaigrette is your base ingredients.  If you are using a fruit vinegar, you will not need as much oil because the fruit vinegar is not as sharp and acidic as for example fresh lemon juice or a traditional vinegar in your recipe.  Less oil allows the fruit vinegar flavors to come through.  I always add an extra splash of an acidic ingredient to my fruit vinegar vinaigrettes because I like to have that mild complex fruit flavor in my dressings but I also like a bright tang.  Also, a strong olive oil that is very grassy or bitter in flavor can change the outcome of your vinaigrette so be mindful of your oil choice and flavor.  If you have a stronger olive oil, you may want to use less of it or substitute a different oil such as avocado oil.  Citrus and traditional vinegars tend to pair better with a stronger olive oil because they can cut the oil with their acidity.   Fruit vinegars such as strawberry, cranberry or blueberry vinegar tend to pair better with a more neutral or light olive oil and usually will use less oil in the recipe allowing the fruit flavor to really shine through.

Goats cheese or "chevre" is a soft creamy fresh cheese made from goats milk and usually comes in a log form.  It's flavor is mild yet tangy and slightly earthy.  There are quite a few varieties of goats cheese made, some are aged and covered in a rind or ash and some are combined with different cheeses such as "goat brie" or "goat gouda". These aged varieties will typically have a more creamy crumbly and richer texture.   

The most well known and accessible form of goats cheese is the fresh chevre that you frequently see in the cheese section of most grocery stores.  It's quite versatile and easily adapted to any cheese board or charcuterie plate.  It can be paired with a variety of jams, jellies, spreads and chutneys in both sweet savory and savory pairings and lends itself to a variety of recipes from appetizers and dips to pasta and salads.
