I always get asked on Instagram how I cook my salmon and 9 times out 10 it is done in my cast iron skillet so I get that crispy outside with a soft inside, but lately I have been feeling this Simple Sheet Pan Salmon in a sweet ginger marinade.

It is an easy way to cook up both the veggies and the salmon together and get both perfectly cooked! I like eating this right away or using it as a part of my meal prep.

This sheet pan salmon recipe is very versatile. You can change up the veggies you use and add to the marinade to slightly change the flavor. Make this salmon sheet pan dinner again and again using different flavor combinations.

• Grated ginger, pineapple juice, coconut aminos, and sesame oil – use these ingredients to make a sweet ginger salmon marinade

Ingredient substitutions

In place of the coconut aminos, you can use soy sauce or liquid aminos to make the simple and flavorful sauce.

Salmon and asparagus is one of my favorite ingredient combinations. It is especially good when the asparagus is in season.

Of course, this is a sheet pan salmon recipe, but you can use other types of fish in place of the salmon. I like to use cod, tilapia, or sea bass instead.

Add spice to this dish by mixing some sriracha or hot sauce into the marinade. You can also add ground garlic or garlic powder to the marinade.

Serve this salmon sheet pan dinner on its own or alongside a starch. I like to serve this healthy salmon and veggie dish with brown rice or quinoa.

This is a great recipe to make for meal prep. Once it is prepared, pair the salmon and veggies with brown rice and store in meal prep containers.
