Baked Salmon with Vegetables
This baked salmon with vegetables combines tender, flaky salmon with sweet potatoes, crisp green beans, and vibrant red onion, all roasted to perfection on a single sheet pan.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- Juice of 1 medium lemon about ¼ cup
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ¼ pounds salmon fillets
- 1 pound sweet potatoes 1 large or 2 small, thinly sliced
- 12 ounces fresh green beans trimmed
- ½ small red onion thinly sliced
- ½ lemon thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425℉ and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this marinade for the vegetables.
- Pour half of the remaining marinade over the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Let them marinate in the fridge while you prep the sweet potatoes and other ingredients.
- Peel and thinly slice the sweet potatoes into ⅛-inch rounds. Toss them with half of the marinade and spread into an even layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove the pan and shift the sweet potatoes to one side. Add the green beans and sliced onion, tossing them with the reserved 2 tablespoons of marinade.
- Return the veggies to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes.
- Create a space in the center of the pan for the marinated salmon. Add a slice or two of lemon on top of each fillet, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, and bake for 10-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve immediately with extra lemon slices, if desired, and enjoy!
