How to Customize This Sheet Pan Salmon Meal
The beauty of sheet pan meals is how flexible they are. You can easily swap ingredients based on what’s in your fridge or what’s on sale at the store.
Veggie swaps:
- Green beans
- Cauliflower
- Cabbage
- Carrots
- Regular potatoes
- Mushrooms
- Bell peppers
- Onion
- Chinese eggplant
Protein swaps:
- Tempeh: Cut into strips and marinate in teriyaki sauce before baking. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through if desired.
- Tofu: Follow the same steps as the salmon. After 15 minutes, remove broccoli, flip tofu, and bake another 15 minutes at 425°F until golden brown on the edges.
- Chicken: Marinate in teriyaki sauce and bake 30–40 minutes (less if sliced thin).
- Shrimp: Marinate and bake for only 10 minutes. Avoid overcooking to keep it tender.
- Beef: Use “stir fry” strips or slice your own. Marinate and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway if desired.
This flexibility makes it easy to adapt the recipe to any taste or dietary need — no stress required.
Dietary Swaps (Vegan / Gluten-Free / Dairy-Free)
- Dairy-free: This recipe is naturally dairy-free!
- Vegan: Use tofu or tempeh instead of salmon.
- Gluten-free: Make sure your teriyaki sauce or marinade is gluten-free.
How to Store and Reheat
This sheet pan salmon meal lasts up to 4 days in the fridge when stored in airtight containers.
While it’s not freezer-friendly (salmon tends to dry out when frozen and reheated), it reheats beautifully in the microwave or on the stove.
Reheating tip: Reheat salmon separately from veggies to prevent overcooking the fish.
Ingredient Tips
A quick brush of olive oil and sprinkle of salt goes a long way toward that perfect roasted finish.
- Use skin-on salmon for the best flavor and moisture.
- Cut your veggies into similar sizes so they roast evenly.
- Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for effortless cleanup.

- Add the salmon pieces next to the broccoli. Spoon more of the soy sauce mixture on top of the salmon from the baking dish. Bake the salmon and broccoli for 15 minutes, or until the salmon is firm to the touch and flakes apart.
- Divide the salmon, broccoli and sweet potatoes between 3 meal prep containers.
