Sheet pan meals are my love language. Protein & veggie side taken care of with one dish, easiest cleanup. This one is so simple but has so much fresh Italian flavor, we make it again and again! Easy and keto friendly, paleo, naturally grain and dairy free.

An Under 30 Minute Meal with Easy Cleanup

I love me a sheet pan dinner for taking the guesswork and grunt work (aka: alll the dinner dishes) out of mealtime.

The trick is: getting the cooking times down pat so you know both your protein & your veggie will be perfectly cooked, and done at the same time… because who wants cold veggies hanging around while the salmon finishes?!

I start the green beans first (fresh or frozen straight out of the freezer work the same for this recipe, so easy).

Let the green beans cook about halfway, then scoot them over to the sides and make room for your salmon.

Too many green beans crowding up your sheet pan? Pop a second sheet pan in the oven, on the top rack. Easy peasy.

The salmon is baked for 5 minutes, then broiled for 5 for the perfect flakey texture that’s not overdone… just right.

Want Something “More” with Your Meat & Veggies?

Are you looking for a starchy carb to bulk up your meal? I do a whole separate sheet pan of cubed potatoes tossed in avocado oil with salt & pepper at the same temperature (425ºF) for about 40 minutes total. Time it out so they’re done at the same time as your salmon & green beans, and call yourself Martha Stewart! Or Rachael Ray? The Pioneer Woman? I’ll let you choose! (I’m a Giada girl myself)

Let’s Get Cooking!

Hope you love this easy weeknight meal. It is such no brainer go-to meal for us! A quick thaw of some salmon fillets and a bag of frozen green beans, it doesn’t get much simpler or quicker!

Don’t forget to tag me on Instagram @justjessieb if you make it, I’d love to see!

Sheet Pan Balsamic Salmon & Green Beans

With one dish & the easiest cleanup, this recipe is so simple but has so much fresh Italian flavor, we make it again and again! Easy and keto friendly, paleo, naturally grain and dairy free.
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

For the Green Beans

  • 3 to 4 cups green beans fresh or frozen
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

For the Salmon

  • 3 to 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp dried Italian herb blend
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Add the green beans to the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat, then arrange the green beans in a single layer. Transfer to the oven and cook for 10 minutes.
  • While the green beans cook, add the salmon marinade ingredients to a small bowl and combine: balsamic, olive oil, dried herb blend, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Pat the salmon fillets dry and set aside.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven after 10 minutes and scoot the green beans to the sides of the pan. Add the salmon fillets to the center, and spoon the salmon marinade over top.
  • Return to the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Turn the broiler on, and broil for 5 more minutes to finish cooking the salmon and add some color.

Notes

  • We buy our wild caught salmon from ButcherBox and add it to our box each month.  It comes in individual fillets and is always so fresh tasting!  They do great deals every month.  Find their current promo HERE.
  • Looking for a starchy carb to bulk up your meal? I do a whole separate sheet pan of cubed potatoes tossed in avocado oil with salt & pepper at the same temperature (425ºF) for about 40 minutes total. Time it out so they’re done at the same time as your salmon & green beans for an easy double sheet pan meal.
