A quick and easy sheet pan salmon recipe featuring crispy skin, roasted vegetables, and bright lemon flavors. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 ounces (170g) each
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 bunch asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 1 cup baby potatoes, halved (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large lemon, thinly sliced plus juice for finishing
  • A few sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
  3. Toss carrot sticks, asparagus spears, and baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and half the fresh herbs. Spread in an even layer on the sheet pan.
  4. Roast vegetables for 10 minutes.
  5. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush the skin side with remaining olive oil and season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using.
  6. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Nestle salmon fillets skin-side down among the vegetables.
  7. Place lemon slices on top of the salmon and scatter remaining herbs around.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and roast everything together for another 10-12 minutes, until salmon is firm and flakes easily and vegetables are tender.
  9. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over salmon and vegetables just before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon skin dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Use fresh or fully thawed salmon for best results. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Check salmon at 8 minutes if your oven runs hot. Reheat leftovers skin-side down in a skillet over low heat to restore crispiness; avoid microwaving.
