Easy Sheet Pan Salmon with Potatoes
Sheet Pan Salmon with Veggies is an easy, healthy, high protein dinner made with salmon, potatoes, and asparagus on one pan. This simple oven baked meal is perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or easy family dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 5 to 6 ounces each)
- 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional garnish: lemon wedges, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
- Toss the halved potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them across one side of the sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, gently toss the salmon fillets with melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and push the potatoes to one side. Add the salmon fillets and arrange the asparagus alongside them.
- Drizzle the asparagus with the remaining olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Spoon any remaining lemon butter mixture over the salmon and return the pan to the oven.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the potatoes are tender.
- Optional: broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end for extra color before serving.
Notes
- Roast potatoes first so everything finishes cooking evenly
- Green beans or broccolini work well instead of asparagus
- Thicker salmon fillets may need an extra minute or two
- Broil briefly at the end for more color
- Reheat gently to keep the salmon from drying out
