Baked Salmon Recipe
The flavours in this salmon recipe are absolutely incredible. A one tray meal to feed a hungry hoard without any stove top to scrub or pans to wash. Can I get an AMEN?
Plus, the added bonus of baking it WITH all of your desired vegetables adds to the convenience of a one pan meal without worrying about other pans all over the place, boiling over and over cooking your veggies…or your salmon.
How To Bake Salmon On One Pan
What I love most (and I’m sure you will too), is there’s no need for marinading. The flavours are so intense, they are perfect for coating, baking and eating. Smothered with so.much.flavour with only 2 MAIN flavour ingredients:
- Garlic
- Lemon juice.
From there you can go to town with seasonings: as much salt and pepper as you like with the added flavour subtleness of parsley. Then bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.

One Pan Lemon Garlic Baked Salmon and Asparagus
Ingredients
- 4 – 6 salmon fillets skin removed
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 1/3 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 spray Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt or sea salt flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 4 bunches asparagus 24 spears, woody ends removed
- 1 lemon sliced to garnish
- 1/3 cup beans peas or any other greens
Instructions
- Preheat oven broiler (or grill) to high heat. Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil. Arrange oven shelf to the second top shelf (about 8-inches from the heat element).
- Place the salmon on a large baking tray. Rub each fillet evenly with the garlic and parsley to evenly coat; pour over the lemon juice. Spray with a light coating of olive oil spray and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the asparagus and greens around the salmon in a single layer, and place the lemon slices over the top.
- Broil (or grill) for 8-10 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through to your liking (we find 8 minutes is perfect if the oven is hot).
- Serve with the asparagus and beans/peas and these Crispy Smashed Potatoes!

Fantastic. Followed recipe closely, less salmon as I feed only 2 people, and had no asparagus. Will make it again.
This was very yummy. I made it in my toaster oven because it’s summer and I only wanted a small portion. The salmon was a thin piece so it cooked before the asparagus but that was fine, it was till very moist and delicious. I took it out and cooked the asparagus a bit longer. Also because I saw someone mentioned they’d cooked your salmon with Parmesan I threw some of that on at the end. Soooo good. Will be making again!
Do we put aluminium foil on the baking tray first, then put a baking sheet on top of the aluminium foil, then put salmon on the baking sheet?
Everyone this great lately every time I cook Salmon I use this recipe it is very quick and “SO GOOD”
Salmon is one of my favorites and I absolutely loved how it came out with this recipe. Thank you!
I made this last night and it was a huge success! I didn’t have any garlic, so I added garlic powder to the lemon juice, and I love dill with salmon so I added some dill weed to the lemon juice as well.
I was seriously skeptical that it could be THAT easy and THAT fast, but it really was! We had dinner on the table in twenty minutes flat, and the salmon was flaky and moist and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth. I am definitely putting this into my permanent rotation.
Thank you!
Going to try make it for good Friday family dinner
Do u place the sheet pan over the broiler? Or just on the rack?
I’m not a salmon person, can I do the same with Cod?
I don’t like Salmon either, so I would like to know too.
Yes Cod would be fine
I LOVE salmon but my darling husband detests it, and I want to be a good little wife and make meals he will eat. Any suggestions on other milder fish that would work? Of note, I’m pregnant so there are quite a few fish I cannot eat right now, including tuna. I know tilapia has a bad reputation, but would it be suitable for this recipe? Thanks!
