Okay, I know grilling is what's up these days. However, here in our corner of the Pacific Northwest, we can't always rely on continued sunshine in the summer. Solution: the sheet pan! Introducing sheet pan lemon herb salmon with veggies.
I'm not a big fish person, especially salmon. You may have noticed that I haven't shared any salmon recipes before 😅. Dan requested one and voila! Sheet pan lemon herb salmon and veggies.
This dish is super quick, super easy, and SO delicious! It only takes 40 minutes and most of that is just baking in the oven.
Oh and that sauce on the salmon? Butter, garlic, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper 😍. Simple, buttery, zesty, herby, deliciousness.
Step 1: Toss veggies in olive oil, salt, and pepper on the pan and bake for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Add salmon to the pan and brush with that delectable butter mixture. Bake another 15-20 minutes until salmon is easily flaked with a fork.
Step 3: Garnish and chow down.
That's it!

- Toss all ingredients for the veggies on the pan. Spread into an even layer and bake for 15 minutes.
