Sheet Pan Salmon With Veggies

Everyone has a meal they can eat every single week, this easy sheet pan salmon with veggies is mine! Flaky salmon + seasoned sweet potato + savory broccoli = an incredibly easy and satisfying meal prep. I love the simplicity of this meal and the fact that it’s fairly hands-off, your oven does most of the work! Line your baking sheets with foil to make cleanup a breeze.

How to customize this sheet pan salmon meal:

• An easy swap would be changing up the veggies! We’re using sweet potato and broccoli because they’re easy to roast and they provide a lot of color to this meal. You can easily roast up green beans, cauliflower, cabbage, carrot, regular potato, mushrooms, Chinese eggplant, onion or bell peppers.
• You don’t have to use salmon! Tempeh, tofu, chicken, shrimp or beef would be great. Adjust the oven cooking times for the protein as follows:
  1. TEMPEH: If using tempeh, cut it into strips and marinate it in the homemade teriyaki sauce before baking. It will need 15 minutes to bake and you can flip it halfway, but it’s not necessary
  2. TOFU: Follow the same instructions as written for the salmon. After the first 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and transfer the broccoli to a plate. Flip the tofu and put the it back in the oven for another 15 minutes, increasing the temperature to 425 F (220 C), until the tofu appears brown on the edges.
  3. CHICKEN: If using chicken, you can cut it into small pieces or use the entire breast. Marinate it in the teriyaki sauce before baking. It will need 30-40 minutes to bake if it’s a thick piece. Slicing chicken breasts in half will reduce the cooking time.
  4. SHRIMP: If using shrimp, shell and devein them first before marinating. Bake only for 10 minutes max, as it cooks very fast and overcooked shrimp in the microwave is no fun!
  5. BEEF: If using beef, use the pre-cut “stir fry” strips from the grocery store (or cut it yourself) and marinate it before baking. Beef will need 20 minutes to bake and you can flip it halfway if desired.

Is salmon better in the oven or pan?

Both are fantastic, but cooking salmon in the oven doesn’t require constant attention the same way it does when you pan-sear it.
