Flaky salmon roasted with lemon, garlic, and dill — all on one pan for a light, bright, and flavorful dinner that’s done in under 30 minutes.

There’s something about salmon with lemon and dill that just feels like a breath of fresh air on a plate. It’s light but satisfying, simple but full of flavor — and when you roast it all together on a single sheet pan? Total game changer.

This Sheet-Pan Lemon Dill Salmon is one of those dinners that makes you feel like you're taking care of yourself and your family… even when you’ve had a long day and your energy’s running low.

It’s fresh, fast, and practically foolproof.

 

Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon

  • 2 tsp dried dill (or 1 tbsp fresh chopped dill)

  • 1 cup baby potatoes, halved

  • 1 cup green beans or asparagus

  • Lemon slices, for garnish

 

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven:
    Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Prep the veggies:
    Toss potatoes and green beans with half the olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread them on the sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes.

  3. Season the salmon:
    While the veggies cook, rub the salmon with the remaining olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and dill. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Add salmon to pan:
    After 10 minutes, move the veggies to the sides and place salmon fillets in the center. Add lemon slices on top if desired.

  5. Finish roasting:
    Bake everything for another 12–15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and veggies are tender.

  6. Serve:
    Garnish with extra fresh dill and serve warm — straight from the pan!

 

Sarah’s Tips:

  • No salmon? This works beautifully with cod or trout too!

  • Extra flavor: Drizzle with a little Dijon vinaigrette or Greek yogurt sauce.

  • Speed it up: Use pre-steamed potatoes or microwave them for 3–4 minutes before roasting.

 

Why You’ll Love It:

It’s bright, zesty, and just feels clean in the best way. This is the kind of dinner that makes you feel refreshed instead of heavy — and you only need one pan to pull it off. It’s a perfect weeknight reset meal when you want something healthy, nourishing, and quick.
