A quick and wholesome sheet pan dinner featuring lemon herb salmon and roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights and family meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on, boneless salmon fillets (about 6 ounces/170g each)
  • 1 large lemon, thinly sliced plus zest from half
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes or a splash of white wine

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss halved baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and trimmed green beans with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the sheet pan, leaving space for the salmon.
  3. Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon zest, chopped parsley, dill, salt, and pepper. Brush mixture over salmon.
  5. Nestle salmon fillets among the roasted vegetables on the sheet pan. Place lemon slices on top of each fillet.
  6. Return to the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily and veggies are tender and caramelized.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Serve directly from the sheet pan, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Pat salmon dry to ensure a golden crust. Use skin-on fillets for extra flavor and texture. Cut potatoes uniformly for even cooking. Watch oven temperature closely to avoid drying out the salmon. If potatoes are not tender, cook a few minutes longer while tenting the salmon.
