A quick and healthy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy skin salmon with bright lemon and fresh herbs, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 oz / 170 g each)
  • 1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional veggies such as asparagus tips, cherry tomatoes, or baby potatoes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine lemon zest and juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the prepared sheet pan, spaced slightly apart.
  4. If using, toss vegetables in olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread around the salmon on the pan.
  5. Brush or spoon the lemon herb mixture over the salmon and veggies, coating well but not overly wet.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily, and skin is golden and crispy. For extra crispness, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Pat salmon skin dry before cooking to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crispy skin. Reheat leftovers in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
