One-Pan Baked Salmon - Salmon always intimidated me—overcooked it's dry, undercooked it's scary. The one-pan method changed everything. Roasting the veggies first ensures everything finishes together in just 25 minutes. I love that I can customize the vegetables based on what's in my fridge. It's become my healthy weeknight dinner that doesn't taste like "health food."

Salmon fillets Use 6-oz fillets for even cooking. Do not overbake so salmon stays flaky, moist, and tender.
Asparagus Asparagus cooks quickly and pairs perfectly with salmon. Trim tough ends for best texture.
Cherry tomatoes Tomatoes burst and turn juicy, adding sweetness and color. They create a light pan sauce with olive oil.
Lemon, sliced Lemon adds bright citrus and keeps salmon tasting fresh. Slices perfume the tray while baking.
Olive oil Olive oil helps roasting and prevents dryness. It also carries seasoning flavor across fish and vegetables.
Garlic powder Garlic powder gives even seasoning without burning. Great for quick sheet pan dinners.
Dried oregano or dill Oregano gives Mediterranean vibe; dill makes it classic with lemon. Herbs make salmon taste more aromatic.
Salt and black pepper Season salmon generously for flavor. Pepper adds bite that balances rich fish.
Fresh lemon wedges (for serving) Finish with lemon juice for brightness. It makes salmon taste vibrant and restaurant-style.

list_alt Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2

Place salmon fillets in the center of the pan. Arrange vegetables around them in a single layer.
3

Drizzle everything with olive oil. Sprinkle salmon and vegetables with garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Rub seasonings onto the salmon. Place lemon slices on top of the salmon.
4

Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender-crisp. (Thicker fillets or denser veggies may need a few more minutes.)
5

Optional: Broil for the last 1-2 minutes to get extra color on the vegetables, watching carefully to prevent burning.
6

Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.

Serving Suggestions

Serve directly from the pan for a rustic presentation, or plate the salmon and vegetables individually. A squeeze of fresh lemon over everything is essential. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley. Serve with quinoa, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the juices.

How to Store?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a 325°F oven for about 10 minutes to avoid overcooking the salmon, or enjoy cold in salads. This dish is not ideal for freezing, as the texture of the cooked salmon deteriorates.
