Ingredients of Sheet-Pan Roasted Salmon and Vegetable

For Salmon

• Salmon Fillet: Provides the main protein base for the dish. Choose fresh, firm fillets for best results. I like to use fresh wild-caught salmon for this recipe. The best wild-caught salmon I’ve found is not local but frozen. So be sure that it is thawed well before seasoning and cooking. Like most seafood recipes, use the best quality fish you can find. I suggest looking for wild-caught salmon with firm, pink flesh & nice marbling throughout.
• Mayonnaise: Adds moisture and richness to the salmon, preventing it from drying out during baking.
• White Vinegar: Cuts through the richness of the mayonnaise and adds a subtle tangy flavor.
• Garlic Powder: Contributes savory and aromatic flavor to the salmon.
• Paprika Powder: Adds a hint of sweetness and smoky flavor.
• Dried Parsley: Provides a touch of herb flavor and visual appeal.
• Black Pepper: Enhances the overall flavor and adds a subtle warmth.
• Parmesan Cheese: Adds a salty and nutty depth of flavor to the crust.

For Potatoes and Asparagus

• Baby Potatoes:  I use baby potatoes for this sheet pan meal because they have thin skin so no need to peel them and they roast faster. Roasted alongside the salmon for a complete and comforting meal. Choose small potatoes for even cooking. Crispy smashed potatoes are the perfect side dish for this recipe since they roast right alongside the salmon and asparagus sheet pan.
• Asparagus: Adds a vibrant green color and fresh flavor to the dish. Trim the ends before roasting. Always abundant during the spring & summer! If you don’t have access to fresh asparagus, swap it out with another tender veggie like green beans, zucchini, or baby broccoli.
• Olive Oil: Coats the vegetables, promoting even browning and crisping during roasting.
• Italian Herbs: A blend of herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme, providing a flavorful and aromatic seasoning.
• Garlic Powder: Adds a subtle garlicky flavor to the vegetables.
• Salt and Black Pepper: Enhance the natural flavors of the potatoes and asparagus.
• Lemon, sliced: Adds a zesty and refreshing touch to the finished dish. Thinly slice into beautiful rounds. Not only do they look pretty, they also infuse the fish with beautiful brightness as it bakes!

Parmesan Garlic Butter Sauce

• Garlic, minced: Provides a strong and pungent flavor base for the sauce.
• Butter: Melted and used to create a rich and creamy base for the sauce.
• Heavy Cream: Adds further richness and body to the sauce, making it smooth and luxurious.
• Parmesan Cheese: Melts into the sauce, contributing a salty and nutty flavor.
• Chili Flakes (optional): Add a touch of heat and spice to the sauce, and adjust according to preference.
• Dried Parsley and Oregano: Enhance the herb flavor profile of the sauce.
• Onion Powder: Adds a subtle savory depth to the sauce.
• Lemon Juice: Balances the richness of the sauce with a touch of acidity and brightness.

How to Make Sheet-Pan Roasted Salmon and Vegetable

Let’s make Sheet-pan roasted Salmon and Vegetable with creamy Parmesan garlic sauce, what you need to do first is Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Then, Marinate the salmon: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, white vinegar, garlic powder, paprika powder, and dried parsley. Brush the mixture over the salmon fillets and season them with black pepper. Sprinkle with some Parmesan cheese. Next, Marinate for 15 minutes to make sure the flavors and seasoning are being absorbed

Next Roast the potatoes: Toss the baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Do not forget to spread them evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

After that, prepare the asparagus: While the potatoes are baking, drizzle the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Finish cooking: After 15 minutes, arrange the salmon fillets and asparagus on the same baking sheet. Place lemon slices between the asparagus spears. Next, Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes and asparagus are fork-tender and the salmon is cooked through.

Parmesan Garlic Butter Sauce

To make sauce start with cook minced garlic for 2 minutes then add butter and heavy cream. then, season it with parmesan cheese, chili flakes, dry parsley, dried oregano, onion powder, and lemon juice, and cook until a little bit thickened.

Finally, place salmon on a serving plate then top it with cream sauce. Lastly, Serve along with roasted potatoes and asparagus. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes;

• For extra crispy salmon skin, broil the salmon for an additional 1-2 minutes after removing it from the oven.
• For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Parmesan garlic butter sauce.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
• Baby potatoes are nice for roasting since their size is mostly uniform, and all you have to do is slice them in half. Other potatoes to try are baby red potatoes or fingerling potatoes that are halved lengthwise. You can use a variety of vegetables instead of potatoes and asparagus, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or bell peppers. Simply adjust the roasting time depending on the chosen vegetables.
• If the Parmesan garlic butter sauce is too thin, simmer it for a few minutes longer to allow it to thicken slightly.
