how to make sheet pan salmon
Sheet Pan Salmon needs a sheet pan so grab one and let’s get started. This is gonna go quick!
the salmon, veggies, and seasoning
Layout the salmon, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes onto a parchment paper lined sheet pan. To season our salmon, we are gonna make a oil/drizzle situation. Grab a glass measuring cup – no need for a bowl. That would create more dishes and that is not anything anyone needs.
Measure out the oil olive into the cup. Whisk in the the lemon juice, mustard, dill, oregano, and grated garlic. Drizzle this over the salmon, asparagus, and tomatoes. Everything goes into the oven for a whopping 15 minutes. And, while that cooks, we make the tzatziki.
the tzatziki
Tzatziki is wonderful if you’ve never tried it. It’s light and tangy and has a great hit of flavor from the fresh herbs. This Sheet Pan Salmon loooooves tzatziki. It’s a match made in heaven.
To begin, add the Greek yogurt to a mixing bowl. Add the grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, fresh dill and chives. Mix that together until combined. Add kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to your taste.
In the time that it takes to make the tzatziki, the Sheet Pan Salmon should be done. All that’s left to do is serve the salmon, dollop the sauce, and enjoy!
recipe frequently asked questions
Yes, it is! No worries there!
If you need to make this recipe dairy-free, just swap out the Greek yogurt for your favorite DF version.
If salmon isn’t your thing, you can use any fish or shrimp you do like or even chicken! If you choose chicken, just make sure you cook it until it reaches an internal temp of 165°.
The simple answer is whatever you prefer. There are so many delicious varieties out there. Try them and find your favorite. However, I do steer away from farm raised salmon. There are some ethical issues there that I don’t like. Also, farm raised salmon doesn’t have the same health benefits as wild caught.
