Why I Love Sheet Pan Meals
Sheet pan dinners are a practical choice for busy weeks and for meal prep. They save time without sacrificing flavor. You can tailor them to what you have on hand—swap green beans for broccoli or asparagus, and replace carrots with potatoes or bell peppers if you prefer. The salmon and vegetables can be seasoned to taste and finished with a simple glaze for a restaurant-quality meal at home.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Salmon – about 1 pound total, ideally four 6-ounce fillets with skin on; if using frozen, thaw completely before cooking.
- Vegetables – green beans and carrots are used here, but use any vegetables you prefer.
- Olive oil – a light drizzle to help roast the vegetables and crisp the salmon skin.
- Soy sauce – reduced-sodium soy sauce keeps the dish from becoming overly salty; tamari or coconut aminos work for a gluten-free option.
- Sweet chili sauce – provides sweetness and a touch of heat; substitute sriracha, sambal oelek, or red pepper flakes for more spice.
- Honey – a natural sweetener; maple syrup or another liquid sweetener may be substituted.
- Fresh ginger and garlic – minced or grated for the best aromatic flavor.
- Green onions – chopped, for a fresh finishing note.
- Salt and pepper – to season the fish and vegetables.
How to Make Ginger Soy Glazed Salmon
- Preheat and prepare. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with foil or lightly coat it with nonstick spray for easier cleanup.
- Arrange salmon and vegetables. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared pan. Spread the green beans and carrots in a single layer beside the salmon. Drizzle vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Mix the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon chopped green onions.
- Glaze and bake. Spoon the sauce evenly over the salmon fillets, making sure they’re well coated. Bake for 10 minutes, then switch the oven to broil and cook an additional 3–5 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve. Remove from the oven, spoon any pan juices over the fillets, garnish with extra green onions if desired, and serve immediately.

Prepping, Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. To reheat, wrap the salmon in foil and warm it in a 325°F oven for about 5 minutes, or use the microwave for a quick reheat. Leftover salmon is excellent flaked over salads, stirred into grain bowls, or added to sandwiches for a protein boost.

- To make this gluten-free, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- If you prefer more heat, add a teaspoon of sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
