Instructions
eet Pan Salmon and Veggies:
-
- Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your oven is ready to go once you've assembled your ingredients.
-
- Prepare the sheet pan: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Lightly grease the surface with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
- Arrange the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper to taste.
-
- Add the veggies: Next, scatter the trimmed asparagus spears, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, and thinly sliced red onion around the salmon fillets on the baking sheet. Arrange them in a single layer for even cooking.
-
- Drizzle with olive oil: Drizzle a little olive oil over the salmon fillets and vegetables to help them cook and prevent them from drying out. You can also season the veggies with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
-
- Top with lemon slices: Place thin slices of lemon on top of each salmon fillet and among the veggies. The lemon slices will infuse the dish with bright, citrusy flavor as it cooks.
-
- Bake in the oven: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
-
- Serve: Once the salmon and veggies are done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Carefully transfer the salmon fillets and veggies to serving plates, using a spatula if needed. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and enjoy your delicious and healthy One Sheet Pan Salmon and Veggies!
That's it! With these simple steps, you'll have a flavorful and nutritious meal ready to enjoy in
