04 - Remove sheet pan from oven after potatoes have roasted. Add red onion, bell pepper, and green beans to the pan. Drizzle with remaining olive oil, season with remaining salt and pepper, and toss vegetables together.
05 - Place marinated salmon fillets among vegetables on the sheet pan, skin side down if using skin-on fillets.
06 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until salmon is opaque and cooked through and vegetables are tender.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Quick sheet pan cleanup makes this meal weeknight-friendly
  • Bright lemon and fresh herbs bring out the best flavors in salmon and veggies
02 -
  • Always check salmon doneness by flaking gently with a fork. The flesh should separate easily and still look moist.
  • For strict gluten-free or dairy-free needs, verify all ingredient packaging labels before cooking.
03 -
  • For crispier potatoes, spread them in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • If salmon fillets vary in thickness, place thicker pieces toward the edges of the pan where heat is highest.
