Sheet Pan Salmon Broccoli Meal

Sheet Pan Salmon Broccoli Meal makes weeknight cooking easy because it cooks on one pan and needs very little prep. The salmon stays tender while the broccoli roasts until it has crisp edges. This recipe helps you get dinner on the table fast without a lot of prep or cleanup.

Sheet Pan Salmon Broccoli Meal

I turn to this meal when I’m short on time and when I need something filling but nutritious. I like to line the sheet pan with either parchment paper or foil. This keeps the salmon from sticking and makes cleanup faster and easier.

I also cut the broccoli into uniform, small sizes so it cooks at the same rate. These small steps help the meal roast evenly.

Sheet Pan Salmon Broccoli Meal Nutritional Value

This meal offers a good mix of protein and fiber. Salmon provides healthy fats and broccoli brings vitamins and minerals. It supports balanced eating without extra steps.

Salmon is nutrient-dense and a good addition to your diet. Try my other salmon recipes, Caramelized Peach Bourbon Salmon, Honey Glazed Wood Roasted Salmon, Blackened Salmon with Mango Salsa, and Baked Firecracker Salmon.

Cooking Tips and Substitutions

Follow these tips for your best salmon broccoli meal.

• Use a hot oven so the salmon stays moist and the broccoli roasts instead of steaming.
• Cut the broccoli into medium pieces for even cooking. (Also, try my Cheesy Broccoli Bites Recipe.)
• If you want extra color on the salmon, place it under the broiler for a short time at the end.
• You can swap broccoli for asparagus or green beans if that is what you have on hand. (Also try this Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs)
• You can also use foil instead of parchment if you prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long it cooks depends on the thickness of the salmon, but it usually finishes fast. If the broccoli needs more time, remove the salmon and return the pan to the oven. Leftovers store well in the fridge and reheat in the microwave or air fryer.
