Sheet Pan Salmon & Veggies

For a healthy dish ready in 30 minutes or less, this sheet pan salmon and veggies makes a satisfying weeknight meal!

On busy weeknights, it may be difficult to get everyone together for dinner. And, when you can, who wants to spend a lot of that time in the kitchen?!? This dinner is healthy, balanced, and naturally gluten free. It packs tons of flavor with only a few simple ingredients. Everything can be made on one sheet pan (or maybe two.) Oh, and if you use parchment paper- clean up will be a breeze!!

The only major prep is remembering to thaw salmon the night before, AKA set it in the fridge overnight. My favorite way to flavor salmon is also super simple. Simply brush with a little olive oil. Then, season with lime zest and lime juice. For the healthiest version, I do recommend wild caught salmon- as it has less fat, less calories, no coloring added, and it hasn’t been farmed.

For the veggies, it’s just a little chopping, drizzling with olive oil, and seasoning. The potatoes take a bit longer to bake. For an even faster meal, you could either roast the potatoes in an air fryer for about 10 minutes or leave out all together and substitute with some microwavable rice.

Ingredients in Sheet Pan Salmon & Veggies

  • Olive oil
  • Salmon
  • Baby Potatoes
  • Asparagus Spears
  • 1 lime
  • Montreal chicken seasoning
  • Salt and pepper

How to Make Sheet Pan Salmon & Veggies

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the potatoes, 1 Tbsp. of olive oil, Montreal chicken seasoning, salt, and pepper. Use clean hands or a spoon to mix until the potatoes are coated. Pour onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, roast for about 25 minutes, until fork tender.
  3. Next, use the same mixing bowl for the asparagus. Add about 1 Tbsp. of olive oil, Montreal chicken seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix to combine, then set aside.
  4. Brush the salmon with olive oil. Then, sprinkle with lime zest and lime juice.
  5. When the potatoes have about 15 minutes left, add the asparagus and the salmon to the oven. I usually add the salmon to a separate baking sheet. After 15 minutes, check to see that he potatoes and asparagus and fork tender. The salmon should be flaky, firm to the touch, and an opaque light-pink color. If needed, roast for an additional 5 minutes.

Montreal Chicken Seasoning

Montreal chicken seasoning is one of my favorite spices! It is super versatile, with terrific flavor! A go-to for chicken and veggies. The ingredients may vary a bit based on the brand, but the usual suspects are- salt, pepper, onion, garlic, red pepper, parsley, paprika, and a bit of citrus- either lemon or orange peel.

What if I don't like salmon?

Well, first- have you tried it?!? Salmon is delish and not super fishy! Have you tried salmon wrapped with bacon??? Ok, if you really don't like salmon, you could also make meatballs (which take about 20-22 minutes to bake at 400 degrees), cod, tilapia, or even steak! Check out this- Sheet Pan Steak and Fries!

Store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
