Asian Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner

This Asian-inspired sheet pan salmon brings together a flavorful garlic soy marinade with sesame, ginger, and colorful vegetables for a dinner that is both satisfying and full of fresh flavor. As one of those healthy dinner ideas that comes together in about 20 minutes, it’s perfect for busy evenings when a homemade meal is still on the menu.

Sheet pan dinners have become a favorite for good reason. Everything cooks together on a single pan, making both preparation and cleanup wonderfully simple. In this recipe, the flavorful sauce is drizzled over salmon, carrots, and broccoli before everything is roasted until perfectly cooked.

Serve it with a side of steamed rice for a complete meal, or enjoy the roasted salmon and vegetables on their own. Either way, the combination of tender salmon and gingery vegetables creates a delicious balance of flavors.

Fresh salmon fillets work best for this recipe. Sockeye salmon is a great choice, but any fresh-looking salmon fillets will work well. They can be cut into smaller portions at home, or prepared by the fish counter before bringing them home.

Carrots and broccoli make a classic pairing, but other vegetables can easily be substituted. Sweet potatoes and cauliflower are both great options. Just be sure to cut everything into similar-sized pieces so the vegetables and salmon finish cooking at the same time.

The sauce is what ties everything together. Brown sugar, sesame oil, tamari or soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and cilantro combine to create a savory, slightly sweet marinade that complements both the salmon and the vegetables beautifully.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 (1½ -pound) salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 4 medium carrots, peeled, and cut into 3-inch matchsticks
• 3 green onions, white and green parts, minced (optional)
• 4 cups cooked rice, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack in the center of the oven.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, cilantro, ginger, garlic, and sesame seeds until well combined.
3. Arrange the salmon, broccoli, and carrots on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle half of the prepared sauce over the salmon and vegetables, then gently toss the vegetables to coat evenly.
4. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender. If the vegetables need additional time, transfer the salmon to a serving platter and return the vegetables to the oven until they reach your desired tenderness.
5. Arrange the roasted vegetables alongside the salmon on the serving platter. Drizzle with the remaining sauce, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve warm with cooked rice, if desired.
