What’s on your dinner menu for this week? I hope this salmon with tomatoes recipe is on it because it is so good and so easy to make. And I’m certain everyone in your family will love this dish. Even the little ones. Because this salmon features grated cheese.

Three simple steps:
You’ll want to season your salmon first. Salt and pepper, some salmon seasoning, and the juice of half a lemon.
Brush with mayonnaise. For those questioning this step – I promise the salmon won’t taste like goopy mayo: it’s to help keep the salmon juicy and tender.
Finally, you’ll top it all off with sliced tomatoes and grated cheese. I like parmesan, but choose whatever your family likes best.
Now you’re ready to cover in foil and bake. And this is the tough part: waiting 20 minutes to dig in!
I love serving this salmon with tomatoes with orzo and spinach. And if you’re looking for a truly Italian flavor, serve over a bed of tomato-basil quinoa. Yum!
