Simple Sheet Pan Salmon & Vegetables
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Servings: 4
You will need an 18” x 13” large sheet pan.
Ingredients
1 ½ pounds of baby potatoes, halved
Olive oil for drizzling
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
1 pound fresh asparagus, ends trimmed
12 ounces cherry tomatoes
4 thick salmon filets (equal to one serving each)
4 slices fresh lemon
For the seasoned garlic butter:
4 Tablespoons melted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the cut baby potatoes with about 2 Tablespoons of olive oil, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Place the potatoes, cut side down, on the sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes, until almost tender. Note: If the sheet pan is too crowded, use 2 sheet pans.
While the potatoes are roasting, make the seasoned garlic butter by combining the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika. Set aside.
After 20 minutes in the oven, remove the sheet pan and push the potatoes to the side. Arrange the salmon filets, asparagus, and tomatoes on the sheet pan, in a single layer. Generously brush with the seasoned garlic butter. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, and arrange lemon slices over the salmon.
Return to oven and bake for another 12 minutes, until the salmon is fully cooked through and tender. If your filets are thick, it may take an extra few minutes. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Helpful Hints:
Choose similarly sized cuts of salmon to ensure even cooking.
The seasoned garlic butter can be made in advance, and remelted prior to use.
Refrigerate leftovers in sealed containers for up to 2 days.
The veggies can be swapped for your favorites or whatever you have on hand, but adjust the roasting times for each accordingly:
Broccoli or cauliflower florets: 20 minutes
Sweet potatoes, cubed: 30 minutes
Baby carrots: 20 minutes
Brussels sprouts, halved: 25 minutes
