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.

I am a home cook that does things my way. In my kitchen, I make breakfast, pack lunches, prepare snacks, and cook dinner. During the week, we eat real food that is homemade, organic, and local. On the weekends we do explore more of our local restaurants. I bake my own bread, juice fresh oranges every other day, and make my own kombucha and other weekly favorites.
