26 New to me Recipes for 2026 #2 Lemon Garlic Salmon Tray Bake

We usually eat Salmon once or twice a month, so I am always looking for new ways to change it up with different flavor profiles.  I found this one from Nagi at Recipetin Eats.

Ingredients:
2 to 4 6 oz salmon fillets (I used Coho salmon)

Marinade:
Zest from 1 lemon
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves (grated)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Vegetables:
Asparagus (Woody ends removed)
7 oz. cherry or grape tomatoes
2 tsp. olive oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Topping:
Olive oil
Finely grated parmesan cheese

Mix the ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl.  Slather onto the top and sides of the salmon.  Mariate for 1 hour.

Preheat your oven/broiler to 525 F.  

Toss the asparagus and cherries with the oil and salt and pepper and place on a baking sheet.  Add the marinated salmon on the tray.  Nagi mixed everything on the tray.  I did the veggies and the salmon separate for no particular reason. 😉

Cook for around 11 minutes.  The internal temperature of the salmon should be around 122 F.

Remove from the oven and plate.  Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the veggies and ENJOY.

We both enjoyed this one and gave it a 7 out of 10.  I failed at getting a picture of the finished dish but did take this one before putting it in the oven.

  1. I try to eat salmon once a week and it's usually my go-to order at any restaurant. I'm not sure there's a salmon recipe I wouldn't like!

  2. That sounds very good, even though I am not crazy about salmon. TheHub loves it, I tolerate it so I need to try it this way.

  8. I rarely eat salmon. As a matter of fact I can't remember the last time I did have it. This sounds delicious though.

  9. We have fish once or twice a week, salmon often one of those days. I will give this marinade a try.

  10. I don't eat fish, but I usually make salmon when I have company for dinner. I too am always looking for something new too. Thanks I 'll keep this recipe for next time.

  11. This one piqued my interest. I use a light layer of Dijon mustard as a base to hold a mixture of bread crumbs and McCormick's salt free garlic and herb spices. Then I'd mist EVOO on it before cooking.

  12. I have a freezer full of various kinds of fish because I tend to eat it weekly. This is a new treatment of salmon that I’ve not tried before, so I’m saving this recipe.
