Everything Bagel Salmon Sheet Pan Meal

This easy recipe for baked salmon makes the perfect main course for dinner. But it can easily be adjusted to include sides, as well.

If you want to turn your everything bagel salmon into a sheet pan meal, simply arrange some vegetables around the salmon on the pan. The veggies will cook along with the salmon so your entire meal is ready to enjoy all at once!

Since the salmon cooks fairly quickly, you’ll need to choose fast cooking vegetables to prepare with the fish to ensure everything on the pan cooks properly. Try adding these veggies to your sheet pan to create a one-pan meal for dinner:

• Baby tomatoes
• Green beans
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Thinly sliced carrots
• Bell peppers
• Onions
• Lemon slices
• Mushrooms
• Zucchini

To add more flavor and help the veggies cook more quickly, try tossing them in olive oil and seasoning them with salt and pepper. Then, spread them in an even layer on the pan around the salmon pieces.
