Here is a brief overview to get an idea of what to expect with the recipe. Scroll down to the printable recipe card for all the details.
- Make the glaze and seasoning: Whisk the glaze together in one dish and combine the herb seasoning in another dish.
- Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon filets dry and brush them with the glaze. Sprinkle lightly with part of the seasoning.
- Add the veggies: Toss the veggies with the glaze and seasoning and place them on the tray.
- Roast: Roast until the salmon is medium-rare and the veggies are tender.
How to Tell When Salmon is Done
The best way to determine the doneness of your salmon is to use a meat thermometer. If you don’t have a thermometer, you can cook the salmon until it flakes easily with a fork. We like our salmon cooked to medium-rare or just a tad under medium-rare and I usually pull it out of the oven when an instant-read thermometer shows 122°F.
The FDA recommends cooking salmon to 145°F. I consider salmon ruined at that temperature (it is dry and less flavorful at that temperature) but you may prefer it that way. Use the temperature chart below to find the temperature you prefer.
The Thermopen One instant-read thermometer will get an accurate temperature in only 1-second which means you don’t have to leave the oven door open and let out all the heat.
| Salmon Doneness | Internal Temperature |
|---|---|
| Rare (soft, buttery, juicy) | 110°F |
| Medium rare (tender, flaky, moist) | 125°F |
| Medium (flaky, firm, still has moisture) | 130°F |
| Medium-well (dry, firm) | 140°F |
| Well-done (dry and tough) | 145°F |
Tips for Sheet Pan Salmon and Veggies
- You can make this meal using a different herb blend. Other herb options include dried thyme, rosemary, or Spiceology makes a great seafood blend.
- Start with the veggies first since they take a little longer to cook than the salmon. You will place the salmon on the tray after the veggies get partially cooked.
- Make sure the sheet pan is large enough for the salmon and veggies to spread out. A half sheet pan (18 x 13 inches) is a good size. If you use a smaller pan, the ingredients will get crowded and will not cook efficiently.
- Salmon is always best when freshly prepared, but leftovers will keep up to three days stored covered in the fridge. To reheat the salmon and veggies, you can heat on a medium-low oven temperature until warmed through.
Substitutions and Variations
You can use different veggies to mix things up.
- Root vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, turnips, and beets will take about the same amount of time to bake as potatoes. Make sure you cut them all the same size.
- Try broccoli and cauliflower instead of Brussels sprouts.
- Cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, butternut squash, and zucchini are also great options.
- Try different herbs and spices like smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, and chili powder for a flavor switch-up.
