‘Everything Spice’ Sheet Pan Salmon

A sheet pan takes the concept of a one-pot meal and flips it onto a pan. It saves time, makes clean up easier and doesn’t require expensive equipment or fancy ingredients. Just start with your protein choice, then add vegetables, fat and flavorings and roast until everything is golden brown.

Although using a sheet pan seems relatively straightforward, timing and sizing are everything. The way in which you cut ingredients will greatly affect the outcome. Some ingredients that are roasted for longer than intended, like a potato, may be surprisingly delicious. Others, however, like overcooked shrimp, can ruin the meal.

Think of seasonal and natural flavor pairings when combining your sheet pan meal. Tomatoes and garlic are a classic combination, while squash, sweet potatoes and carrots make a wonderful base for proteins.

Sheet pan cooking requires shallow baking pans made of aluminum or steel. Make sure you’re actually using a sheet pan. The darkness of the metal makes the meal cook faster, so things will burn before they are cooked through.

I think sheet pan meals are such a great way to cook a whole meal and of course, adding some of my favorite everything bagel seasoning just makes even better.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line your sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Place salmon in the center of the sheet pan. Blot the salmon with a paper towel (you want the top of the salmon to be dry enough for the cream cheese to spread). Evenly spread the cream cheese over the salmon.
  3. Sprinkle the salmon with 'everything seasoning'. Arrange potatoes & green beans on your sheet pan. Drizzle potatoes & green beans with olive oil & a sprinkle of salt.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes. If you think the salmon is cooked before the vegetables, place foil over the salmon or remove the salmon from the oven.
  5. Remove from oven & serve.
