A quick and healthy sheet pan salmon dinner featuring tender salmon fillets roasted alongside broccoli and carrots, tossed in a flavorful sesame-soy sauce and garnished with fresh green onions and sesame seeds. Perfect for an easy, balanced meal ready in just 30 minutes.

  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (1½-pound) salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled, and cut into 3-inch matchsticks
  • 3 green onions, white and green parts, minced (optional)
  • 4 cups cooked rice, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack in the center of the oven to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, toasted sesame oil, low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, minced fresh cilantro, minced peeled fresh ginger, minced garlic cloves, and sesame seeds. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved and everything is thoroughly mixed.
  3. Arrange Ingredients on Sheet Pan: On a large rimmed sheet pan, place the salmon pieces, broccoli florets, and carrot matchsticks. Drizzle half of the prepared sauce over the salmon and vegetables. Then toss gently to ensure an even coating without breaking up the salmon.
  4. Bake the Dish: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender. If the vegetables require more time, carefully transfer the salmon to a serving platter to rest while continuing to roast the vegetables until they reach desired tenderness.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle the remaining sauce over the salmon and vegetables. Sprinkle with minced green onions, if using. Serve warm with cooked rice alongside for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Using low-sodium soy sauce or tamari helps control the salt content in the dish.
  • Be gentle when tossing the salmon and vegetables to prevent the salmon from breaking apart.
  • If you want extra caramelization, broil the vegetables for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching closely.
  • You can substitute fresh cilantro with parsley if preferred.
  • This recipe is easy to double for larger gatherings by using two sheet pans.
