Baked Salmon with Corn & Red Pepper Relish is a veggie filled, flavor packed meal that is easy to throw together for the family or a dinner party.
My favorite fish to make and eat is Salmon. We love making Teriyaki Salmon Stir Fry and Blackened Salmon Salad but this Baked Salmon with Corn & Red Pepper Relish is seriously the most amazing! We just can’t get enough of it in our house. We make this version of salmon about once a month and everyone, including my 1 and 3 year old girls, eat up every last bit of it.
This salmon is cooked to perfection every time, so moist and flavorful. If you don’t have a bottle of coriander in your cupboard, go get one! It is my new favorite spice. It’s a little sweet, light, nutty, and curry like. If you already have smoked paprika or want to splurge a little on a spice, it takes this salmon to the next level.
The dressing on this salmon tastes amazing with the coriander, smoked paprika, honey, and a few other things but it is also great because you don’t have to let the salmon marinate. Just brush the mix over each salmon fillet and pop it in the oven. So easy!
The relish on this salmon is a must! Roasted red pepper with corn, garlic, honey, lemon, spices, and fresh herbs… it’s so fresh! I’ve been serving Orzo Rice along side this Baked Salmon with Corn & Red Pepper Relish but garlic roasted red potatoes would be pretty tasty with it too.
You are most definitely going to love this salmon as much as we do. Share it with your family and dinner guests. Everyone will be satisfied for sure. Enjoy!

I am LOVING how beautiful that relish looks on top, and also that it’s served warm! Salsas are great, but one of my pet peeves is a topping that makes the rest of my food cold. I will definitely be trying this!
