Why this Recipe Works
Sheet pan meals are one of my favorite ways to get dinner on the table fast. This sheet pan salmon with asparagus and potatoes is a perfect example of why. It's a complete, well-balanced meal, ready in just 30 minutes, with only one pan to clean up.
But quick and easy doesn't have to mean boring. In this sheet pan recipe the salmon is topped off with a homemade honey mustard sauce for an extra pop of flavor with just a few simple pantry ingredients.
Ingredient Notes
- Honey Mustard - The homemade honey mustard sauce is sweet and savory and adds loads of flavor. You can also use store-bought honey mustard if you prefer.
- Potatoes - I recommend small baby gold potatoes for this recipe. They will cook in around 20 minutes and come out with a crispy exterior and a soft, creamy interior. You can substitute other varieties, but larger types will need to be cut smaller.
- Asparagus - You will need to use thicker asparagus for this recipe to align the cooking time. Thinner asparagus will cook faster, so if that is all you can find, add it to the pan around halfway through the cooking process.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with foil. Add the two mustards and the honey to a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Place the halved potatoes and trimmed asparagus on the sheet pan and pour the olive oil over top, then toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the potatoes cut side down on one end of the sheet pan. Arrange the asparagus on the sheet pan, leaving room for the salmon.
- Add the salmon filets to the sheet pan and spoon the honey mustard glaze on top to coat. You may not need all of the sauce.
- Transfer the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Remove the pan, then flip the potatoes and asparagus and return to the oven for 8-10 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through and the salmon is done to your liking, then remove and serve.
What to Serve with Sheet Pan Salmon
The beauty of this sheet pan salmon with vegetables is that it's a complete meal so it doesn't require side dishes. But you can't go wrong with a simple side salad, and you'll have just enough time to make one while the dinner cooks. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Chick-fil-a Kale Salad (Copycat Recipe)
- Fall Apple Walnut Salad with Cider Vinaigrette
- Shaved Brussels Sprouts and Kale Salad
Recipe Variations
If you're not a honey mustard fan you can totally leave off the sauce. It's tasty simply seasoned with salt and pepper or your favorite salmon seasoning. You can also use a bright and fresh combination of lemon and dill with some fresh minced garlic like I use in my Lemon Dill Salmon recipe.
The vegetables can be substituted as well. To keep it simple, try to use veggies that will cook in around 20 minutes so they can all go in at once. Broccoli or green beans are other good choices. But you can also use quicker cooking veggies and add them in part way through the cooking process.
