5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your sheet pan meal turns out perfectly:

• Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables! Asparagus, bell peppers, or even Brussels sprouts work wonderfully.
• If you love a bit of heat, add some red pepper flakes to the salmon seasoning.
• For a touch of freshness, squeeze some lemon juice over the dish just before serving.
• Make sure to cut your veggies into similar sizes for even cooking.

How to Serve

This quick dinner is best served hot right out of the oven. You can enjoy it as is or pair it with:

• A side of fluffy quinoa or brown rice for a heartier meal.
• Some crusty bread to soak up any delicious juices.
• For a refreshing touch, a simple green salad with a light vinaigrette.

If you’re in the mood for something creamy, consider whipping up a side of creamy garlic pasta to complement the salmon and veggies. It’s a delightful combination!

Make Ahead and Storage

This recipe is fantastic for meal prep! You can chop the veggies and marinate the salmon a day in advance. Just store everything in the fridge until you’re ready to cook. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick meal anytime.
