Description
This is so easy, it’s barely a recipe. Save this easy dinner idea for when you want something healthy and delicious but are running low on energy after a long day. This Sheet Pan Roasted Salmon, Veggies, and Potatoes “Recipe” only takes 5 minutes to prep. After that, the oven does the work. All you have to do is toss the veggies and potatoes halfway through cooking. So simple! It’s a weeknight dinner winner!
Ingredients
Scale
- Salmon filet (approximately 6 ounces)
- 1 medium red potato, chopped into cubes (about 1/2 cup)
- 3/4 cup veggies of choice (I used brussels sprouts)
- Spices for salmon (I used about 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay)
- 1/2 tablespoon, plus 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Spices for potatoes (I used about 1/4 teaspoon Homestead Seasoning – but it depends how strong your spices are)
- Spices for veggies (I used a mix of garlic granules, salt, and pepper – about 1/4 teaspoon – but it depends how strong your spices are)
Instructions
- Pre-Heat the oven to 425 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place salmon filet on one baking sheet and chopped potatoes and veggies in separate piles on the other.
- Sprinkle salmon filet with spices of choice until the top is evenly coated (see Salmon FAQ or recipe for suggestions).
- Drizzle potatoes and veggies with EVOO – 1/2 tablespoon each. Sprinkle spices of choice over potatoes and veggies. Use your hands to toss each pile separately to evenly spread the oil and spices.
- Bake for about 20-25* minutes, tossing the potatoes and veggies halfway through cooking, until the salmon, veggies, and potatoes are cooked to your liking. Note: if you don’t like your salmon well done or have more energy than I typically do when I make this, feel free to cook the salmon for less time. Salmon typically takes about 10-12 minutes per inch, but that’s too much work for me. I told you this is one of my lazy meals! Lol!
Notes
- Personally, I don’t measure my spices – I eyeball how much to use. The amount you need really depends on how strong the spices you want to use are. I find it’s best to go a little lighter than you think you need. And adjust next time!
