Quick and Healthy Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner

It’s a one-pan meal where salmon fillets are baked alongside various vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers. The "everything" part refers to the inclusion of a variety of ingredients and flavors, often seasoned with herbs, spices, or a flavorful glaze.

Vegetables that roast well include potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, red onions, and green beans. Choose vegetables that have similar cooking times to ensure everything cooks evenly.

Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. Toss them in olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before spreading them out on the sheet pan. This helps them cook evenly and develop a nice caramelization.

Season the salmon with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs or spices. Popular options include garlic, lemon zest, dill, paprika, or a premade seasoning blend. You can also add a glaze or marinade if you prefer a more intense flavor.

Bake the sheet pan dinner at 400°F (200°C). This temperature helps the vegetables become tender and slightly crispy while cooking the salmon to perfection.

Cooking time typically ranges from 20-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon and the size of the vegetable pieces. Check the salmon to ensure it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized.
