We love salmon in our house and have it a lot. So, I’m always trying out a new salmon recipe to shake things up rather than just the normal steaming or grilling. I did this recipe when we were headed out of town the next day and I wanted to use up what was in the frig. It ended up being fast, delicious, protein-filled, and healthy. Don’t we all want to eat this way every night? Plus, it works out really well when David is training at night.
This recipe makes dinner for 2.
What you need
- Sheet pan with a piece of parchment for easy cleaning
- Bowl for tossing
- Cutting board
- Good knife
Ingredients
- One medium onion
- 2 large potatoes
- 2 portions of salmon
- 1/2 pound of spinach
- 1 lemon
- Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper
Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Slice onion into rounds and peel and slice potatoes into rounds.
- Place 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 had to wash, remove the stem, and chop.
- Remove the skin from the salmon and add salt and pepper.
- When the potatoes are just getting soft, remove the sheet pan from the oven.
- Place the spinach on the potatoes and salmon on top of the spinach.
- Squeeze the lemon over the entire pan and a little extra heavy-handed on the salmon.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place pan back in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
Enjoy!
