    Ingredients

    Salmon and veggies ingredients arranged on a sheet pan and in bowls on a white surface.

    Salmon fillets - I’m a huge fan of wild caught salmon, especially coho for its mild flavor and medium density. However, I will also buy Atlantic farm-raised from reputable sources that implement sustainable practices.

    Vegetables – Broccoli florets, red bell pepper and red onion

    Asian glaze – Soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, parsley, sesame oil, sesame seeds, sriracha or hot sauce, lemon juice and black pepper.

    How to Make Sheet Pan Salmon and Veggies

    Once you have your ingredients gathered, you’ll need a small bowl to make the glaze and a large baking sheet or two smaller ones.

    Make glaze: Whisk together all the glaze ingredients until well combined. If making ahead, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

    Glaze for salmon and veggies mixed in a glass bowl on a white surface.

    Start veggies: The vegetables get a head start since they take a little longer to cook than the salmon. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli, bell peppers and onion with about a third of the glaze. Spread on the sheet pan in a single layer and bake uncovered in preheated oven.

    Broccoli florets, red bell pepper strips and red onion wedges on rimmed sheet pan ready to roast.

    Add salmon: Part way through roasting the veggies, push them to the sides and place salmon in the center of the pan. Drizzle half of the remaining soy mixture over the salmon. Reserve the rest for when serving. Return pan to the oven and continue to bake uncovered.

    Salmon fillets added to sheet pan with partially cooked vegetables.

    Bake then broil: The salmon and veggies will bake until just about done, then will broil for a few minutes to get a little caramelization on top. Remove pan from the oven, finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, lemon zest and serve!

    Overview of cooked sheet pan salmon and veggies on a white surface.

    How long does salmon bake?

    In a preheated oven of 400 degrees f, salmon fillets that are around 1-inch thick will bake for 9 minutes, then broil 2-3 minutes more. Keep in mind the cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.

    How do you know salmon is done?

    Salmon should flake easily with opaque edges but be more translucent in the center. When using an instant read thermometer, the internal temperature of the fillet should be 120 degrees F for medium-rare and 130 degrees F for medium. Once you go over 140 degrees the salmon is well done.

    Tips for a Great Meal

    1. Don’t overcook! Salmon is best when cooked medium-rare or medium. The meat will still be juicy and moist. Well-done salmon is tough and dry.
    2. Leave skin on. It keeps the fillet together and helps hold in its juices. You can eat the skin but it won’t be crispy like it is when pan seared.
    3. Cut vegetables similar size to ensure even cooking.
    4. You can line the sheet pan with parchment paper if you like. I don’t recommend using aluminum foil because it can interact with the acidity of the glaze and alter overall flavor.

    What are the best vegetables to serve with salmon?

    The veggie trio used here deliciously complements the salmon and glaze, but here are some great alternatives:

    • Asparagus
    • Green Beans
    • Zucchini
    • Brussels Sprouts
    • Cabbage
    • Cherry Tomatoes
    • Mushrooms
    • Sweet Potatoes
    • Baby Potatoes

    What flavors go well with salmon?

    You can change up the vegetables and experiment with great flavor profiles! Salmon is super versatile and will take on the delicious flavors you add to it. My favorites strike a balance between sweet, salty, spicy, tangy, sour and aromatic.

    Consider texture too! Are you in the mood for something creamy, buttery or silky? Here are some ideas for inspo!

    • Mexican – adobo sauce, olive oil, agave, smoked paprika, roasted cumin, fresh lime.
    • Cajun – cajun seasoning blend, cayenne pepper, orange juice, maple syrup.
    • Scampi – fresh lemon, white wine, lots of garlic, butter.
    • Korean – gochujang sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, chili sauce.
    • Pesto – how about spicy cilantro pistachio pesto?!

    Salmon FAQs

    How much salmon do you need per person?

    You’ll need about 6 – 8 ounces of salmon per person. You can look for fillets that size or cut them yourself from a larger piece.

    Is salmon better in the oven or on the stove?

    It depends on how much time you have and personal preference. Cooking salmon on the stove takes just five minutes and creates a little more caramelization on the fillet. Roasting salmon takes about 10-15 minutes but very easy especially when using one pan for the whole meal.

    What are the health benefits of salmon?

    Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids which reduce inflammation and lower blood pressure. It’s a great source of protein to protect bone health and prevent muscle loss. Plus, salmon is loaded with several B vitamins which are needed for energy, brain health and lower the risk of heart disease.

    • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon garlic , minced
    • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley , chopped
    • 2 teaspoons ginger , freshly grated
    • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
    • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
    • 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper

    Salmon and Veggies

    • 4 cups broccoli florets

    Instructions

    Soy Glaze

    • In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, parsley, ginger, sesame oil and seeds, sriracha, pepper, lemon zest and juice until well combined.

    Salmon and Veggies

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
    • Place broccoli, bell pepper and onion on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle about one third of the soy mixture over the vegetables and stir so they’re evenly coated.
    • Bake the veggies uncovered in preheated oven for 8 minutes.
    • After 8 minutes, carefully stir vegetables and push them to the sides. Arrange salmon fillets on the sheet pan and drizzle half of the remaining soy mixture over the salmon. Reserve the rest for serving.
    • Bake uncovered for 9 minutes. Then switch oven to broil. Broil for 2-3 minutes. Watch closely so the fish doesn’t burn. Salmon should be tender and slightly translucent in the center. You’re looking for an internal temperature of 120-130 degrees F when using an instant-read thermometer.
    • Transfer salmon, broccoli, pepper and onions to a serving platter or serve straight from the pan with rice if desired. Pass remaining soy glaze separately. Enjoy!

    5. The soy mixture can be made ahead and will last in the fridge 1 week.
    6. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and enjoyed within 5 days. Great for meal prep!

      Salmon, broccoli, and bell peppers make one of the most delicious combinations in my book. This dish looks wonderful and so colourful, and that Asian-inspired glaze is spot on.
