Ingredients Needed

Ingredients for Salmon and Potaotes on counter.

Salmon: I purchase Harris Teeter Fishermans Market Salmon right from their fish counter. For this recipe, you need four 6 ounce filets of salmon. Pro-Tip: Ask the butcher to portion into filets for you when you place your order.
Potatoes: To cut down on the prep time, I recommend purchasing baby potatoes. You can select red or yellow potatoes. I love the bags of petite potatoes from Harris Teeter, as they require no prep work. They are already washed and the perfect size. If your potatoes are larger than 1 ½ inches in diameter, be sure to cut them in half or in fourths as needed.
Green Beans: It could not be much easier than purchasing a bag of Harris Teeter Farmers Market Green Beans. They are washed and trimmed and ready to be roasted.
Honey Garlic Glaze: The glaze for the salmon is made with melted butter, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, honey, and Dijon mustard.
Seasonings: You will also need olive oil and salt and pepper to roast the potatoes and vegetables.

Step-By-Step Directions

Place potatoes and green beans into a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon minced garlic to the bowl and toss well to evenly coat potatoes and green beans with seasonings and oil.

Spread the mixture onto the sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit while preparing the salmon, as the potatoes and green beans need longer to cook than the salmon.

While the potatoes and green beans are baking, mix together the melted butter, lemon juice, honey, Dijon, 1 tablespoon of garlic, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper together in a small mixing bowl until well combined.

Carefully, remove the sheet pan from the oven and use a spatula to push the potatoes and green beans to the side of the pan in order to fit the salmon on the pan.
Place the salmon onto the pan and very generously spoon the glaze over the salmon fillets. You want to use ALL of the glaze.

Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Top with freshly sliced lemon for additional flavor if desired.

Recipe FAQs

What is the best Salmon to use for this recipe?

I love purchasing Harris Teeter's Fishermans Market Salmon for this recipe. Both the fresh-caught and wild salmon are excellent choices. It is always best to purchase salmon within 24 hours of planning to prepare for the best quality.

Do you need to leave the skin on the salmon?

No. You certainly can use salmon filets that have the skin removed. However, I prefer to cook salmon with the skin still on, as it keeps the delicate flesh intact and the skin helps to seal in the moisture in the salmon

How can you tell Salmon is fully cooked?

Salmon is best baked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. The best way to determine this is to use an internal thermometer, however, another way to test is to gently push down on the salmon with a fork. When cooked through, the flesh of the fish should flake off.

Can I make this recipe without the melted butter?

The melted butter gives the salmon a rich finish, but you can certainly substitute the melted butter with olive oil if you would prefer a dairy-free recipe for salmon.

Will another vegetable work in place of the green beans?

Yes! A great substitute for green beans is asparagus, as the cooking time is very similar.

How crispy do potatoes get?

Small baby potatoes will cook up to be fork-tender in this allotted time. However, if your potatoes are larger than 1 ½ inch in diameter, I recommend cutting them in half or in fourths as needed. If you desire potatoes with an extra crispy exterior, cut the baby potatoes in half for the best results.

How do you store leftovers?

This recipe for sheet pan salmon is the best served immediately. However, if you do happen to have leftovers, you can refrigerate for up to 48 hours.
