A fuss-free, quick sheet pan dinner featuring crispy salmon skin and perfectly roasted vegetables, delivering a satisfying texture contrast and rich flavor with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 ounces / 170 grams each)
  • 1 cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced and juiced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, plus extra for skin
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme or fresh
  • A handful of chopped parsley or dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss baby carrots, Brussels sprouts, red bell pepper, and red onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and smoked paprika if using until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on a lined or lightly oiled sheet pan, ensuring they have space to roast properly.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly brush each fillet with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  5. Sprinkle the skin side of salmon generously with sea salt, then season the flesh side with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet pan nestled among the vegetables. Arrange lemon slices on top of the salmon.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until vegetables are tender with caramelized edges and salmon skin is crisp and golden.
  8. For extra crispy skin, finish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or dill on top before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon skin dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Avoid flipping salmon during cooking to prevent tearing the skin. If vegetables finish before salmon, remove them early and keep warm tented with foil. Reheat leftovers gently in a skillet or oven to preserve crispy skin; avoid microwaving.
