Ingredients Needed

You will find the full list of ingredients, along with quantities in the recipe card. Below is a quick glance at what you need and tips to help you make the right selection.

Ingredients for Samon Sheet Pan Meal labeled on counter.
  • Salmon: For this recipe, you need four 6-ounce fillets of salmon. I recommend salmon with the skin still on, as it keeps the delicate flesh intact and the skin helps to seal in the moisture in the fish as it cooks. It is always best to purchase salmon within 24 hours of planning to prepare for the best quality.
  • Potatoes: To cut down on prep time, I recommend purchasing baby potatoes. Use red, yellow, or a combination of the two. 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: This recipe calls for fresh green beans. You can purchase in bulk and wash and trim the green beans yourself, or you can purchase a bag of trimmed fresh green beans from the produce section. A great substitute for green beans is asparagus, as the cooking time is very similar.
  • Honey Garlic Glaze: The glaze for the salmon is made with melted butter, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, honey, and Dijon mustard, which works to give the salmon incredible flavor.
  • Seasonings: You will also need olive oil and salt and pepper to roast the potatoes and vegetables.

How to Make Sheet Pan Salmon

While Honey Salmon with Potatoes and Greens Beans is an incredibly easy one pan dinner recipe, these steps are provided to help ensure your success. Think of it as me guiding you in your kitchen.😊

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans and potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. Toss well to evenly coat the potatoes and green beans with seasonings and oil.

  1. Spread the seasoned vegetables out on a sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes at 400℉ while preparing the salmon. This will allow enough time for the potatoes and green beans to get tender and crispy, without overcooking the salmon.

  1. While the potatoes and green beans are baking, use this time to prepare the glaze for the salmon by mixing together the melted butter, lemon juice, honey, Dijon, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small mixing bowl until well combined.

  1. After 15 minutes, 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.
  2. Place the salmon onto the pan and very generously spoon the glaze over the salmon fillets. You want to use ALL of the glaze to really season the salmon.

  2. Top with freshly sliced lemon for additional flavor if desired.

Notes

Salmon: You can use skin-on or skinless Salmon fillets. with no change in the cooking time. I recommend leaving the skin on the fillets to seal in the moisture in the salmon. And be sure to use your salmon within 24 hours of purchasing or defrosting. 
Green Beans: Use fresh green beans that have been trimmed. A great substitute for green beans is asparagus, as the cooking time is very similar. 
Potatoes: Red or gold potatoes are best for this recipe. If your potatoes are larger than 1½ inches in diameter, be sure to cut them in half or in fourths as needed, so that they are no larger than 1½ inches in diameter (the width of the potato).
Dairy-Free Modifications: Substitute the melted butter with olive oil if you would prefer a dairy-free recipe for salmon. 
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.
