From ShoutOut.Live Action TV:

Castle is becoming a running Firefly shout-out, among others. For example:
- In the first-season Halloween episode, Castle (Nathan Fillion) jumps out of his room dressed in a long brown coat and a pair of revolvers, leading to this exchange with his daughter:
Alexis: What exactly are you supposed to be?
Castle: Space cowboy!
Alexis: ...didn't you wear that, like, five years ago?
Castle: ...So?
Alexis: Don't you think it's time to move on?
Castle: I like it!

Later in the episode, the victim has been staked and Castle says "Looks like Buffy's been visiting the Big Apple." The last scene, at the costumed Halloween party, features a few other shout outs. Esposito is dressed as his Marine character Espera from Generation Kill. Meanwhile Esposito's partner, Ryan, is dressed as a doctor, like the General Hospital character, Dr. Ian Devlin, that he played for at least 45 episodes.

In the episode "Home Is Where The Heart Stops", Castle and Beckett are at a fancy charity party, and the mayor asks Castle (paraphrase) "What are you doing at this shindig?" This is a shout out to the episode of Firefly called "Shindig" which also features Nathan Fillion taking a woman to a fancy party where she is clearly out of place.
In the episode "Boom!", Castle disarms the serial killer by shooting the gun out of his hand. Becket compliments him on this, to which Castle replies "I was aiming for his head," just like Jayne in "The Train Job".
In the episode "Close Encounters of the Murderous Kind", Castle state his knowledge of Chinese came from a T.V. show he liked.
Beckett, going undercover to catch a drug dealer, asks for something to make her feel "shiny".
Season 3 episode "Setup" includes a scene with Martha offering to take Alexis to a spa called The Oasis of Serenity:

Castle: Thats fantastic! ... What is that?
Martha: You haven't heard of the Serenity?

Most are probably included already. Some examples are listed twice. I'll try to organize the page as best as I can.

"Swan Song" (S 5 E 7) strikes me as one huge shout-out to "This Is Spinal Tap"
