A quick and easy sheet pan salmon recipe that delivers crispy skin and tender fish alongside perfectly roasted vegetables, ideal for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin on
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of half a lemon (optional)
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or fresh sprigs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnishes: fresh parsley or dill, chopped; extra lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly dust the skin side with cornstarch.
  4. Rub the entire fillet with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder or minced garlic.
  5. Place the salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet among the vegetables or with some space for even cooking.
  6. Roast everything for 12 to 15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and the skin is crisp and golden, and the vegetables are tender with caramelized color.
  7. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely.
  8. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped herbs before serving.
  9. Let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes after removing from the oven.

Notes

Pat salmon skin very dry before dusting with cornstarch to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Broil briefly at the end for extra crisp skin if desired. Let salmon rest after cooking to keep it moist. Vegetables can be swapped seasonally; root vegetables require longer roasting time.
