A quick and easy sheet pan salmon recipe featuring crispy salmon skin and perfectly roasted vegetables, ideal for busy weeknights or fuss-free dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 ounces (170 g) each
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • A few sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the carrot sticks, broccoli florets, red pepper slices, and red onion wedges with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  3. Arrange the vegetables evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading them out to avoid crowding.
  4. Roast the vegetables for 10 minutes alone.
  5. While the vegetables roast, pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  6. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Brush the skin side lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and nestle the salmon fillets skin-side down onto the pan, spacing them evenly.
  8. Place thin lemon slices and fresh herb sprigs around the salmon and vegetables.
  9. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  10. Optionally, broil the salmon skin for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  11. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon skin dry before cooking to ensure crispiness. Use high heat (425°F) for roasting. Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow even roasting. Broil briefly at the end for extra crispy skin if desired. Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet or oven to restore crispness.
