If you’re looking for a dinner meal that’s short on prep but packs big, awesome flavors, this baked salmon with mayonnaise and salsa topping won’t disappoint. It requires minimum effort and very little tending yet tastes like you sweated in the kitchen for hours.

The secret to the super moist and flavorful salmon? Mayonnaise! The fresh pico de gallo salsa and mayonnaise topping provides another layer of flavor and texture and also acts as a protective coating that keeps the fish from drying out during the cooking process.

Tips on How to Make Baked Salmon with Salsa Mayo Topping:

  • Make sure to deseed the tomatoes as you don’t want the salsa to be too liquidy.
  • Prepare the salsa and stir in the mayonnaise just when you’re ready to top the fish and bake as the topping tends to water down over time and will slide off the fish.
  • If you want a bit more tang and fewer calories, substitute plain yogurt for the mayonnaise.

    Nice recipe, but I will try it with some minor changes as I am a vegetarian and can’t have salmon. I would use Tofu instead and enjoy this tasty recipe.

    I just made this and it was a huge hit even with my 3 kiddos ages 8, 4, and 2! I must confess though, I had some FRESH salsa from the grocery store instead of making some…I didn’t have the jalapenos. It really doesn’t get much easier. I will definitely be making this again! Thank you!
