Sheet Pan Salmon
Report
This Sheet Pan Pesto Salmon uses simple ingredients and is a 30 minute meal. The homemade pesto is ridiculously addictive and bursting with summery flavors from the fresh basil!

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2, (7 oz.) salmon fillets
- 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
- 1/2 lb. mini red potatoes, small dice
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 3/4 tsp. garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Avocado Pesto
- 1 bunch fresh basil (~1 cup packed)
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/3 cup pine nuts
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic (~ 1 tsp. minced)
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
For the pesto:
- Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, lemon juice as desired.
For the sheet pan meal:
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Toss diced potatoes in a medium sized bowl with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
- Place salmon in the middle of sheet pan and spread a heaping spoonful of pesto on top. Smooth pesto in an even layer. (~2 Tbsp per salmon filet)
- Arrange asparagus on one side of salmon, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange seasoned potatoes on the other side of the salmon.
- Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes, depending on thickness of salmon. Salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145° F and potatoes should be fork tender.
- Toss potatoes in leftover pesto if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use different veggies such as broccoli, Brussels or sweet potatoes!
- Remove the skin on the salmon prior to baking if desired.
- Serve with pasta instead of potatoes if preferred. We have added more veggies to the sheet pan and boiled pasta and love using the leftover pesto on the pasta!
