Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each | 170 g)
- 1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (on or off the vine)
- 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tsp seasoning blend of choice + ½ tsp extra (lemon pepper, Italian, za’atar, or your favorite)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1½ tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp sriracha or garlic chili sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- Fresh parsley and lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
- Roast the potatoes: Toss halved baby potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp seasoning blend, salt, and pepper. Spread on sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, sriracha, ½ tsp seasoning blend, plus a pinch of salt and pepper. Brush over salmon fillets.
- Add salmon and veggies: Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Push potatoes to one side, then place salmon, asparagus, and tomatoes on the pan. Drizzle remaining 2 tbsp olive oil over veggies and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake: Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until salmon is opaque and flakes easily and asparagus is tender. For extra color, broil for 2 minutes at the end.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices. Enjoy immediately!
Recipe Tips
- Choose your seasoning: Lemon pepper, Italian seasoning, or even Tex-Mex spice blends all work beautifully.
- Swap the fish: Cod, halibut, or trout are great alternatives to salmon.
- Veggie options: If you use denser vegetables like carrots or Brussels sprouts, add them in with the potatoes so they have enough roasting time.
- Extra glaze: Double the sauce if you like your salmon extra coated.
Serving Ideas
This sheet pan salmon is a full meal on its own, but it also pairs well with:
- A simple green salad with cucumbers and olives.
- Crusty bread to soak up extra glaze.
- Steamed rice or quinoa for extra heartiness.
