One-pan dishes are a great way to make a healthy and delicious meal in no time. Salmon is one of the most popular one-pan recipes because it is easy to prepare and beautifully pairs with baked veggies and your favorite side. Potatoes or sweet potatoes for my side. You can watch how I made it in this Video on YouTube.
This One Pan meal is balanced and super savory and the flavors of all ingredients just cook together making it super flavorful and tasty. I will always choose salmon because it's loaded with vitamins, a great source of protein, low in saturated fats, and high in potassium and iron just for the perfect dinner.
This efficient cooking method builds on the principles of achieving perfectly pan-seared skin-on salmon, while simultaneously crisping potatoes and caramelizing vegetables for a complete, balanced meal. For those looking to add an extra layer of indulgence, consider incorporating elements from our pan seared salmon in coconut sauce, drizzling the finished dish with a light coconut sauce to elevate the flavors even further.
Ingredients you'll need:
- Salmon: Fresh or frozen salmon works well. Fillet or steak salmon will be also delicious just make sure frozen potatoes are perfectly thawed.
- Potatoes: I use baby gold potatoes, sometimes Yukon potatoes, and even red potatoes.
- Zucchini: I used zucchini, but you can use any veggies of your choice like asparagus, broccoli, carrots, Brussels sprouts, etc. Since they don't cook for long, make sure they come into the baking pan last.
- Lemon Juice or Zest: The perfect tenderizer for the fish.
- Honey or Maple Syrup: Neutralizes the acid of the lemon or adds sweetness to the dish.
