Most people fall into one of two categories when it comes to salmon. You either love it or you hate it. I’m guessing if you’re here, you love it, but even if you’re the latter, I’m going to convince you otherwise!

The thing about salmon is that it needs to be cooked properly. I mean, most foods need to be cooked properly in order to taste good, but it’s especially important with salmon.

Having an easy and flavorful sauce/marinade is essential with any fish recipe. This sheet pan salmon is glazed with a sweet and spicy Asian sauce and baked to perfection. If you love this recipe, try my lemon pepper salmon, greek chicken bowls or chicken fajita bowls next!

How to make sheet pan salmon

The best thing about this recipe is its flavor, but also how easy it is to make! It only requires a few minutes of you actively doing something, so it’s the perfect recipe for a busy night.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Whisk together all ingredients for the sauce. Grease a large baking sheet with oil or butter.

Add about 3-4 tablespoons of the sauce to the carrots and toss well. Add the carrots to the baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes. They take longer to cook than the salmon/broccoli, so we’ll start them early!

Add the rest of the sauce to the salmon and broccoli and let the salmon marinate it in while the carrots roast.

When the carrots are done, add the salmon and broccoli to the baking sheet.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork. If you prefer salmon more well done, bake for longer, but if you prefer more medium, bake for less time.

Remove from the onion and garnish with more cilantro and green onion if desired. Serve as is or with rice or quinoa!

Serving Suggestions

My personal favorite salmon pairing is quinoa or jasmine rice. I like to save a little extra sauce to pour over the two.

This sheet pan salmon would be great on top of my Thai noodle salad but is also delicious with rice, steamed or roasted sweet potatoes and a green like arugula or green beans. Generally, a carb and green veggie pairs well with salmon.

PRO TIP: I highly recommend purchasing and cooking salmon with the skin on. Almost all salmon I’ve come across is sold with the skin, so this shouldn’t be an issue. This will prevent it from drying out as it cooks.

Then, you can either serve it with the skin on or use a knife or spatula to easily slide the meat right off of the skin to serve.

Variations

I love the broccoli and carrot combo here, but you can swap for green beans, potatoes or sweet potatoes (just give extra time to roast), asparagus or whatever you like.

You can make it sweeter by adding more brown sugar, spicier by adding more chili crunch or even some sriracha, whatever your palate is craving!
