Salmon is such a great option for better health, weight loss and overall yumminess, but if you’re stuck with the same boring flavor, then shake it up with this tasty Sheet Pan Parmesan Baked Salmon & Broccoli recipe!
This yummy salmon recipe is based on a recipe from my Tasty Cycle 1 Meal Plan (it’s available seasonally) and it’s such an easy recipe to make that brings a ton of flavor to your dinner table!
It’s heart-healthy, low carb, loaded with healthy fats and a one-pan meal that makes clean up a breeze!
Sheet Pan Salmon Ingredients
I feel like a broken record every time I write this, but it’s true! This sheet pan salmon is REALLY simple and the flavor is out of this world yummy!
Here are a few of the ingredients you’ll need:
- salmon filets
- olive oil
- garlic cloves
- broccoli florets
- parsley
- parmesan cheese (this is my all-time favorite parmesan)
Baked Salmon with Asparagus
If broccoli isn’t your favorite, this recipe can be easily made with asparagus instead!
During the Spring months when asparagus is in season, definitely use this tasty veggie instead of broccoli!
This recipe, as written with broccoli, bakes in the oven at 400 degrees for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, or until your salmon is done to your liking.
If you use asparagus instead of broccoli, it will need less time in the oven, especially if the stalks are on the thinner side.
Asparagus will need about 10 minutes or so in the oven.
I would recommend either placing your asparagus on its own baking sheet and pop it in the oven a few minutes after you place your salmon in the oven, or if you truly want a one-sheet pan dinner, just remove the asparagus a few minutes early (or add to the pan a few minutes later).
