Sheet pan dinners are such a great way to get a healthy dinner on the table in very little time. Of course, I love that by only using a sheet pan to cook it on, there is minimal clean up involved. I already make Sheet Pan Pork Chops, roasted pork tenderloin, and sheet pan sausage and veggies for those nights I need a quick but healthy dinner. Now, this salmon is another amazing recipe I can add to my meal plan rotation.

Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner
You won’t need any special equipment. All you need is a three-quarter sized sheet pan or the more common 13” x 18” half sheet pan. I also add a piece of parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat to my pan to make clean up even easier.
The salmon and asparagus are both coated with the orange glaze making this dish one that is bursting with flavor.
