Easy Sheet Pan Salmon Recipe
A quick and delicious, protein-filled, healthy, one pan salmon dinner.
Ingredients
- One medium onion
- 2 large potatoes
- 2 portions of salmon
- 1/2 pound of spinach
- 1 lemon
- Olive oil
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees
- Slice onion into rounds and peel and slice potatoes into rounds.
- Put both together in a bowl, add about 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper, and toss together.
- When onions and potatoes are coated, pour onto sheet pan and place in the oven.
- Cook about 20-30 minutes until potatoes are getting soft.
- While potatoes and onions are cooking, prep the spinach and salmon. I used fresh leaf spinach so I have to wash, remove the stem, and chop.
- Remove the skin from the salmon, if not already done.
- When the potatoes are just getting soft, remove the sheet pan from the oven.
- Place the spinach on the potatoes and the salmon on top of the spinach.
- Squeeze the lemon over the entire pan, being a little extra heavy-handed on the salmon.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place pan back in the oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon is just cooked through to your liking.
