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

Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 oz (170 g) each
  • Baby potatoes, halved, about 1 lb (450 g)
  • Asparagus spears, trimmed, 1 bunch (approx. 12 oz / 340 g)
  • Cherry tomatoes, 1 cup (150 g)
  • Red bell pepper, sliced, 1 medium
  • Olive oil, 3 tbsp
  • Garlic, 3 cloves, minced
  • Lemon, 1, zested and juiced
  • Smoked paprika, 1 tsp
  • Dried oregano, 1 tsp
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, 2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1½ tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes evenly on one side of the sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
  3. Toss the asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and sliced red bell pepper with the remaining 1½ tablespoons olive oil, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Arrange them on the other side of the sheet pan with the potatoes. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes.
  4. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and a little smoked paprika. Drizzle or brush with a bit of olive oil.
  5. After the vegetables have roasted for 25 minutes total, create space on the pan and place the salmon skin-side down. Roast everything together for 10-12 minutes, depending on thickness, until salmon is opaque and flakes easily but still moist inside.
  6. Remove from oven and drizzle lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top.
  7. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crispy salmon skin with tender roasted vegetables.

Notes

Pat salmon skin dry before cooking to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even roasting. If potatoes aren’t crisping enough, broil for last 2 minutes watching carefully. Serve immediately to maintain crispy skin. Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet skin-side down to regain crispness; avoid microwave.
