To say that this one-pan salmon dinner is family-friendly would be an understatement.  My 10-year-old LOVES seafood.  I was a little worried about what the 3-year-old would think since he can tend to be a picky eater, but he gobbled up a few pieces I cut and then asked for more.

What is the best salmon for this recipe?

I used still-frozen seafood that already came seasoned with a spicy peppercorn marinade.  For more information, check out this comprehensive post on how to buy salmon at the grocery store from Taste of Home.

Ingredients

This sheet pan salmon dinner has-

  • Wild-caught frozen salmon that has been thawed
  • A mayonnaise-based sauce for topping that has parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic, and artichoke hearts
  • Breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter to add a crunchy coating to the top of the salmon
  • Olive oil to drizzle on top to roast the vegetables

How to make sheet pan salmon step-by-step

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Brussels sprouts and green beans cleaned and in a colander.

Wash the green beans and Brussels sprouts. Cut the vegetables into manageable bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly.

Cover with aluminum foil, then oil it so the fish doesn’t stick. 

Place the salmon onto the greased sheet pan.

a bowl of breadcrumbs with a spoon in it. a bowl of mayonnaise mixture with a spoon on it. a bottle of olive oil. a bowl of chopped brussels sprouts and green beans. a sheet pan with aluminum foil and two slabs of salmon.

Now combine the ingredients for the creamy topping: mayo, Parmesan cheese, garlic, artichoke hearts, and lemon juice.

Spread the mayonnaise mixture to the top of the salmon with a spoon.

Then make the crunchy topping: in a microwave, the dish melts the butter for around 30 seconds.  Once melted add the breadcrumbs and stir until the butter and breadcrumbs combine completely.

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top of the sauce.

Tips & Variations

    I made this last night and it came out perfect and was really delicious! I used Panko for the breadcrumbs.

    I had two questions though…the recipe doesn’t say how much garlic or if it’s fresh or powdered garlic. I used 1 clove of fresh, chopped. And then it doesn’t specify if the artichoke hearts are the plain ones or the marinated ones. I used the plain. For the veggies I used asparagus, brussel sprouts, green beans and a red bell pepper that was getting wrinkly.

      I’m so glad you liked it! This recipe is perfect for mixing things up with vegetables and your spices. I did add the garlic as fresh cloves, but powdered works as well too. Thank you again for the comment.
