Sheet Pan Salmon with Roasted Vegetables

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), skin on or off
• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lemon, half sliced into rounds, half saved for juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. 2

   Toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on one half of the sheet pan.

3. 3

   Roast the sweet potato alone for 10 minutes, this gives them a head start so everything finishes at the same time.

4. 4

   Add the broccoli to the other side of the pan, drizzle with the remaining olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder and salt.

5. 5

   Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Lay the lemon slices on top of each fillet.

6. 6

   Place the salmon on the pan and roast for another 12–15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

7. 7

   Squeeze the saved lemon over everything just before serving.
