Nutrition

This meal is high in protein and loaded with healthy fats from the salmon and avocado oil. Each serving of the sheet pan salmon provides essential omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Paired with fiber-rich Brussels sprouts and asparagus, this meal supports heart health and digestion, while also offering a balanced macronutrient profile.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).
2. Prepare the sauce by whisking together the honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, dried dill, lemon juice, and white vinegar in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes until the mixture simmers.
3. Thicken the sauce by adding the arrowroot mixture, stirring continuously. Once thickened, set the sauce aside in the fridge to cool.
4. Prepare the salmon by patting it dry with a paper towel. Lightly spray with avocado oil, sprinkle the smoked paprika and cracked pepper, and rub the seasoning evenly over the salmon.
5. Arrange the vegetables on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Spray the Brussels sprouts and asparagus with avocado oil, and season with sea salt and pepper. Toss the veggies to coat them in the seasoning.
6. Place the salmon in the center of the sheet pan, with the vegetables arranged around the edges.
7. Coat the salmon with 2 tablespoons of the cooled sauce using a spoon or brush, reserving the rest for later.
8. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the sheet pan and baste the salmon with more sauce. Return to the oven for the remaining time.
9. Monitor the salmon, and if white residue (albumin) begins to appear, remove the salmon to prevent overcooking.
10. Serve fresh out of the oven, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days if meal prepping.
