✅ Step-by-step instructions

This salmon sheet pan meal is truly so easy to make!

First, cook the potatoes. Season and oil the chopped potatoes, place on a rimmed baking sheet, and back at 425°F for 15 minutes.
While the potatoes start cooking, season the fish and the remaining vegetables.
After the potatoes have been baking for 15 minutes, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Add the salmon and other chopped veggies in a single layer along with the potatoes. It's okay if some pieces overlap, but you want to give each vegetable and fish as much room as possible to cook evenly.
Lower heat to 400°F and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

🐟 Salmon FAQs

Salmon is a wonderful fish perfect for busy weeknight meals. You can cook it on the grill, fry it, sauté it, or bake it, as we're doing in this recipe.

Growing up and living in the Pacific Northwest, salmon is in my blood. It's in my veins and I can't get enough of this beautiful, pink, nutrient-dense fish.

What kind of salmon should I cook with?

You can use whatever fresh salmon you can find. Here in Oregon, we usually have abundant access to Chinook (King) Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Sockeye Salmon. I prefer to use wild caught salmon as opposed to farm raised salmon, since wild caught salmon tends to have more flavor.

Do you eat the skin on salmon?

Yes! In general, salmon skin is considered safe to eat. Salmon skin contains more of the same minerals and nutrients found in salmon. You do want to consider the source and quality of the fish you are buying, however, before deciding if you will keep the skin on or off for this recipe.

Personally, I love cooking with the skin on. It lends such a lovely crispy texture to the dish, and helps bring out the seasoning even more.

🍷 Wine pairings for salmon

Salmon is a meaty fish that can stand up to a lighter bodied red wine, such as an Oregon Pinot Noir. It goes well with a sutbly oaked Chardonnay as well.

I love this healthy sheet pan salmon with vegetables dish with the Chardonnay from Open Claim Vineyards. This is a beautiful juicy Chard with a food-friendly, long finish.

🍳 Leftover ideas for salmon

If you have any leftovers, this dish makes some EXCELLENT leftover meals for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

Make a Breakfast Salmon & Vegetable Hash the next morning. Sautée the veggies with the salmon, using a spatula to break up the salmon into smaller pieces. Add eggs cooked to your preference.
Make a Salmon & Vegetable Salad for lunch. Top a bed of greens with the salmon and veggies, toss with the salad dressing of your choice. I prefer just drizzling olive oil, some fresh lemon juice, and then a sprinkle of salt & pepper.
