Ingredients Needed For Sheet-Pan Baked Salmon and Veggies
- Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. You can replace it with chicken breast or chicken thighs.
- Zucchini contains essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C and A, potassium, and magnesium. You can substitute zucchini for green beans.
- Bell peppers contain antioxidants like vitamin C. Vitamin C helps boost the immune system. You can replace bell peppers with mushrooms.
- Onion is rich in vitamin C. I used red onion; however, you can also use yellow onion.
- Avocado oil is a good source of healthy fats. Substitute for olive oil.
- Seasoning: I used ground ginger, oregano, smoked paprika, black pepper, garlic powder and salt. Feel free to use your favorite seasoning.
How To Make Sheet-Pan Baked Salmon and Veggies
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the skin from the salmon and cut into cube sizes. Wash and cut the zucchini, bell peppers, and onion.
Add the salmon, zucchini, bell peppers, and onion to a sheet pan. Add avocado oil and seasonings. Combine and transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until fully baked.
Allow to cool, then add to glass meal prep containers. You may serve the baked salmon and veggies with cooked rice. Store the glass containers in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Commonly Asked Questions
Can I use chicken breast instead of salmon? Yes, chicken breast will also be perfect in this sheet pan dinner. However, you may increase the baking time because the chicken breast will need more baking time. I suggest adding the vegetables when the chicken breast is half done.
