One Pan Salmon and Vegetables
Description
One Pan Salmon and Vegetables brings together sliced salmon fillets and a colorful mix of vegetables including yellow onion, garlic, purple yam or sweet potato, red bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and asparagus. The vegetables are tossed in avocado oil combined with sea salt, lemon pepper, dried parsley, and ground ginger, then baked until tender and lightly roasted. After initial roasting, the salmon is nestled into the vegetables and baked until cooked through. The spices impart a gentle warmth and brightness that complement the rich salmon and earthy vegetables. The dish cooks entirely in a single casserole dish, which helps the flavors meld and simplifies cleanup. This recipe suits those looking for a hearty, well-rounded meal featuring pleasing texture contrasts between tender salmon and soft roasted vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1/2 yellow onion sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 purple yam or sweet potato
- 1 red bell pepper cored and chopped
- 1 broccoli crown chopped
- 2 carrot chopped, large
- 1 asparagus trimmed and chopped, bunch
- 3 to 4 Tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tsp lemon pepper
- 1 Tbsp parsley dried
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
- 2 lbs salmon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Chop the vegetables and place them in a large casserole dish. Drizzle them liberally with avocado oil (about 3 tablespoons). Sprinkle with half of the sea salt, lemon pepper, dried parsley, and ground ginger (reserve the remaining half of the seasonings for the salmon). Use your hands to toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated in oil and seasonings.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven 25 minutes. Stir the vegetables well and continue baking another 10 minutes.
- While the vegetables are baking, slice the salmon into portion size fillets (if they aren’t already). Coat with avocado oil and sprinkle with sea salt, lemon pepper, dried parsley, and ground ginger.
- Remove vegetables from the oven after the 35 minutes is up and stir well. Make small wells in the vegetables to make room for the salmon. Place salmon fillets in the casserole dish with the vegetables and bake for 20 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and vegetables have reached desired doneness.
- Serve with any additional sides, such as coconut rice, and enjoy.
