Every once in a while, you probably have a craving to make your way through the drive-thru. Nobody can blame you — who doesn't love greasy fried food for a little treat? But if you're watching your wallet, you can try making some of that food at home. For example, why not try whipping up this copycat Long John Silver's fish? You won't believe how close it tastes to the real thing. You may never have to go through a drive-thru again.

When you're in the mood for something healthy, consider preparing this salmon en papillote recipe. Essentially, you're going to wrap your fish in paper while you cook it, which results in a nice, moist fish that you'll gobble up right away. What makes this recipe so special is the addition of grape tomatoes. They add a sweetness to the fish that you can't get any other way, so don't leave them out. Oh, and be sure to add plenty of garlic.

If you're looking for something on the fancier side, you can't go wrong with a beautifully prepared salmon dish.

If you're not the type to order a whole fish when you go to a seafood restaurant, it doesn't mean that you should give up on fish entirely. As a matter of fact, if you're looking for a recipe that just about everyone in your household will likely love, you can't go wrong with these salmon patties. They don't have a harsh fishy flavor, and they're packed with a ton of good stuff beyond just the fish itself.

Are you ready for the tastiest dinner you'll savor all week? If so, you're going to really love this seared salmon with chickpeas and kale. Searing salmon gives it a nice, crunchy exterior that really takes this fish to the next level. And how can you not love the combination of kale and chickpeas? Even though it might not be everyone's thing, we're going to suggest that you leave the skin on your salmon for this recipe. That's because the skin gets ultra crunchy, and it may just be the best part of the fish.
