Mediterranean Salmon Sheet-pan
The one-pan salmon sheet pan is one I could eat on repeat for dinner. With minimal clean up and maximum flavor, it’s a well-rounded dinner that the whole family will love.
Potatoes, peppers, zucchini and onion get tossed in olive oil and a few spices then roasted until crisp. The salmon gets topped with a zesty marinade, then finished off on the sheet-pan with the veggies.
I top everything off with fresh lemon juice, marinated mixed olives and cubed feta cheese. It’s an all-in-one meal that’s full of heart healthy fats, protein, carbs and veggies.

I love the combination of veggies and spices used, but this dish is so customizable and versatile. You can use any veggies you have lying around, and substitute any type of fish you prefer.
The veggies are packed with flavor, and the salmon flakes right off the fork and melts in your mouth. This recipe is easy enough to make during the week, and definitely a crowd pleaser for your next gathering!
