Sheet Pan Spring Salmon with Dilly Sauce
Hello Hello and Happy Monday, my loves! Today I have the springiest of spring’s Sheet Pan Salmon dinner! It’s a simple, no fuss, easy clean up recipe with SO MUCH FLAVOUR!!
My brain is firmly focussed on spring, warmer temperatures and the promise of in-season spring ingredients. This sheet pan dinner highlights some of spring’s earliest harvest.
The best part of this recipe, besides the perfectly roasted veggies and salmon, is the fresh dill sauce that you’ll want to dip everything into!
Sheet Pan Salmon with Dilly Sauce
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs fingerling potatoes (or any baby potato)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
S & P
1 large lemon
3 tbsp finely chopped dill
1 bunch of asparagus (not too thick!)
4 salmon filets (try to get them all the same size)
Dilly Sauce:
1 cup of mayo
2 tbsp dijon
zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp ground pepper
2 tbsp finely chopped dill
1 tbsp finely chopped chives
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400F and grab your biggest baking sheet. Line it with parchment paper.
Place the potatoes on the baking sheet, drizzle them with a little olive oil, S&P and the garlic powder. Toss them them and then spread them out so that they are not touching and roast them for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, trim the ends off the asparagus and set aside.
Mix together the mayo, dijon, lemon juice and zest, S&P, and finely chopped herbs.
When the potatoes have cooked for 20 mins, take them out of the oven and push them to one side of the baking tray. Place the salmon in the middle. Top the salmon with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of S&P, another pinch of lemon zest, and 1 tbsp of dill.
Place the asparagus in the space leftover on the baking sheet. Drizzle it with olive oil and a big pinch of S&P.
Return the tray back to the oven and roast for another 12-15 mins. Check the salmon. It’s best not to over cook it so if they are small you’ll want to keep your eye on it.
Toss the remaining dill, chives and the juice of 1/2 a lemon on the potatoes and give them a good stir.
Top each piece of salmon with a generous amount of the dilly sauce.
Serve with some dilly sauce on the side because it’s delicious and should be smeared on everything!

NOTE: This is delicious served warm but is equally delicious served at room temp, so this makes an awesome make-ahead-situation.
NOTE 2: This makes the best meal prep meal! The veggies are delicious leftover or thrown into a salad for lunch the next day.
