Introduction

This Maple Glazed Sheet Pan Salmon is a simple, flavorful meal perfect for busy weeknights. With tender salmon, roasted potatoes, green beans, and cherry tomatoes all cooked together, it’s a wholesome dish that requires minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (about 3-4 oz each)
• 3 tbsp olive oil (divided)
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ¾ tsp black pepper (divided)
• 1 ¼ tsp salt (divided)
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 lb petite gold potatoes (halved)
• ½ lb green beans (trimmed)
• Juice from ½ fresh lemon
• 10 oz cherry tomatoes (halved)
• Optional: ½ tsp red pepper flakes
• Optional: Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Add the halved potatoes to the sheet pan. Toss them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated. Roast for about 20 minutes until they start to soften and turn lightly golden.
3. Step 3: While the potatoes are roasting, season the salmon fillets with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and the remaining paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt to prepare the glaze.
5. Step 5: Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one-third of the pan. Add the green beans and cherry tomatoes to the middle third, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with remaining salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
6. Step 6: Place the salmon fillets on the last third of the pan. Brush the fillets generously with the maple glaze, reserving some for later.
7. Step 7: Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
8. Step 8: Brush the salmon with the remaining glaze, then broil for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
9. Step 9: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use fingerling or baby potatoes for a more tender texture and faster roasting time.
• Add a handful of sliced almonds or chopped walnuts on top of the salmon before broiling for added crunch.
• Swap green beans for asparagus or snap peas depending on what’s in season.
• Adjust the red pepper flakes to control the heat level in the glaze.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 325°F for 10-15 minutes or microwave briefly to avoid drying out the salmon.

Salmon and Glaze

• 4 salmon fillets (about 3–4 oz each)
• 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
• 1 tsp paprika (divided)
• 1 tsp garlic powder (divided)
• 1 tsp onion powder (divided)
• ¾ tsp black pepper (divided)
• 1 ¼ tsp salt (divided)

Vegetables

• 1 lb petite gold potatoes (halved)
• ½ lb green beans (trimmed)
• 10 oz cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for vegetables, part of the total olive oil)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
2. Roast the potatoes. Add the halved potatoes to the sheet pan and toss them with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt (half of the total), half of the black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until well coated. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes begin to soften and turn lightly golden.
3. Season the salmon. While the potatoes roast, season the salmon fillets with the remaining salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, then set aside.
4. Make the maple glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt to prepare the glaze.
5. Add vegetables to the pan. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one-third of the pan. Add the green beans and cherry tomatoes to the middle third, drizzle with remaining olive oil, season with the remaining salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
6. Arrange the salmon and glaze. Place the salmon fillets on the final third of the sheet pan. Brush the salmon generously with the maple glaze, reserving some glaze for later.
7. Bake the salmon and vegetables. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender.
8. Broil for finishing. Brush the salmon again with the remaining glaze and broil for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning, to develop a caramelized finish.
9. Garnish and serve. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the salmon and vegetables, then serve warm for a wholesome meal.
