A One Pan Wonder

The great thing about this sheet pan salmon and vegetables dinner is that it’s made all in one sheet pan. No need to pre-cook anything separately or anything like that.

To make it even easier to clean, you can line the sheet pan with aluminum foil. So convenient!

I’d recommend using an 18×13 inch sheet pan (also known as a “half sheet pan”) to make 4 servings. I really like this durable warp-resistant sheet pan, ideal for roasting at high temperatures.

With Asparagus, Potatoes, and Tomatoes

My favorite veggies to use for this sheet pan salmon dinner are asparagus, baby potatoes, and cherry tomatoes on the vine. You get the satisfying comfort of roasted potatoes, the freshness of asparagus, and the juiciness from the tomatoes.

The potatoes should get a head start first since they take closer to 30 minutes to roast. The salmon, asparagus, and tomatoes go in at the 20 minute mark to roast for 10-12 minutes.

You can also use a variety of other veggies, such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, brussels sprouts and more! For more ideas, including roasting times, check out the “Serving Ideas and Variations” section below.

Seasoning for the Salmon

The salmon is brushed with an easy seasoned garlic butter, made with melted butter, fresh minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning.

This easy seasoned garlic butter adds so much flavor to the salmon filets. I even make extra to drizzle over the vegetables. It’s so delicious!

Ingredient Notes

• Salmon filets: Get the thick portioned salmon filets, if possible.
• For the seasoned garlic butter: melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika.
• Lemon slices to place on top of the salmon
• Baby potatoes, asparagus, cherry tomatoes: Feel free to use other veggies you may like but account for the proper roasting time of each.
• Seasoning: Olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 | Roast potatoes

Toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the potatoes cut side down on the sheet pan. Roast at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes, until almost tender.

Step 2 | Make the herbed melted butter

Meanwhile, make the herbed butter mixture, which you will use to brush the salmon filets with. Combine melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika.

Step 3 | Assemble

1. After the potatoes have roasted for 20 minutes, remove from the oven. Push the potatoes to the side of the sheet pan and arrange the salmon filets, asparagus, and tomatoes.
2. Generously brush salmon and veggies with the prepared seasoned garlic butter.
3. Season salmon filets with salt and pepper.
4. Arrange lemon slices on top of the seasoned salmon.

Step 4 | Return to oven and roast

Return the assembled sheet pan salmon dinner to the oven and continue roasting at 425 degrees F for another 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. And that’s it!

Prep Ahead Tips

Salmon sheet pan dinner is best served freshly roasted, as the asparagus can get a bit soggy if refrigerated overnight. However, there are a few ways to prep this recipe in advance:

• Make the seasoned garlic butter in advance. You’ll need to reheat and re-melt it to use.
• If you’re buying a whole salmon, pre-cut them into individual filet portions.

If you’d rather make the entire dish ahead or for meal prep, that’s fine too. It will last in the fridge for about 2 days.

Variations

You can try using different vegetables. Here are other great ideas for this sheet pan salmon and vegetables, including how long they take to roast at 425 degrees F, so you can time it accordingly:

• Broccoli or cauliflower florets: 20 minutes
• Sweet potatoes, cubed: 25-30 minutes
• Baby carrots: 18-20 minutes
• Brussels sprouts, halved: 25 minutes
• Green beans: 12-15 minutes

Other variations include using your favorite seasoning for the salmon. To keep it simple, use olive oil, salt, pepper. Or use your favorite seasoning blends. Up to you!
