One Sheet Pan Dijon Salmon with Asparagus

love one sheet pan recipes! There are less things to clean and it’s a drop and cook kind of recipe. This is a go to weeknight family meal that is so juicy with fun tang. The salmon is slathered with yummy Dijon mustard that when cooked flavors the salmon with a wine like rich flavor and keeps it buttery delish. Surrounding the salmon like proud soldiers are veggies that crisp up and join the one sheet pan fun. 


Salmon has a special place in my childhood memories (most memories are food related lol). Growing up my mom cooked one thing – mostly chicken. Monday through Saturday chicken and Chinese takeout on Sundays. But once in a while she would make salmon and it was always a special treat for us. Every time I make this recipe it reminds me of how excited we were for the rare salmon meal as a kid and it makes me smile.

One Sheet Pan Dijon Salmon with Asparagus Recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon filets
  • 2 bunches asparagus, cut into large pieces
  • 1 lemon, 1/2 for juice and 1/2 cut into thin slices
  • Handful fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • On a sheet pan add asparagus, tomatoes and lemon slices. Drizzle olive oil, season with big pinches of salt and pepper and mix it up.
  • Add salmon filets skin side down on top of veggies. Squeeze lemon juice over filets, season with salt and pepper, spread a layer of dijon mustard on each filet.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes
  • Enjoy!

TIP: How can you tell when salmon is done? Easy! Don’t overcook it (err on the side of undercooking it) so when you test it with a fork it will easily break into flakes.
