Once you start making one pan meals on a sheet tray you’ll want to make them as often as possible. They are generally easy to make and they require less clean up. And when you can cook your veggie with your main dish, then why not?
Lemon Pepper Salmon Baked on a Sheet Pan
This is a one pan dish that has the perfect combination of flavors! Lemon and parmesan were just made to go together, so I decided to go with a lemon pepper salmon and garlic parmesan asparagus – and indeed it made the perfect one pan dish. And prep couldn’t get any easier, this came together in no time! And you’ll love how it also only takes 15 – 20 minutes to bake. The other great thing about this is that the whole family will love it, even the kids. I’m so glad that both of my girls are finally starting to love salmon! It took a long time for me to love it as a kid. I remember the first time I finally I liked it was when my grandma breaded it and deep fried it like chicken nuggets. Worked like a charm, key to getting a kid to like salmon. Smart grandma :). Now my thoughts on getting kids to like something – cover it with cheese, like so (as long as they don’t have a dairy allergy of course). When there’s cheese it’s got to be good!

Possible Variations
Use green beans or broccoli in place of asparagus. Try with Romano cheese in place of parmesan, or omit if there’s a dairy intolerance. Add herbs to the salmon, try with basil, dill or Italian seasoning. Use salmon fillets (individual portions) vs using a side of salmon. Reduce bake time (about 5 minutes less).
