This sheet pan salmon recipe with tomatoes and potatoes is so easy, mess-free, and a great go-to dinner for a busy night.
One sheet pan, about 40 minutes, and you have dinner served! This Greek-inspired sheet pan salmon brings everything together with a bright lemon-garlic sauce that ties juicy salmon, tender vegetables, and crispy potatoes into one tasty supper.
What makes this dish so great is how each element gets its moment in the oven: potatoes roast up with golden, crispy edges, cherry tomatoes caramelise and burst to make the perfect sweetness, and salmon stays perfectly flaky and tender. All this while soaking up those zesty lemon and garlic flavours right on the sheet pan.
It’s the kind of weeknight dinner you’ll make on repeat when you want something healthy and satisfying without a ton of fuss and dishes.
Why This Recipe Works
- One Pan: Everything roasts together on a single sheet in this Sheet Pan Salmon recipe.
- Quick: Potatoes get a head start, salmon finishes fast, and this whole recipe will only take you 40-minutes.
- Complete Meal: This dish has protein, starch, and veggies all at once for a well-rounded meal in one pan.
- Greek-Inspired: Lemon, garlic, oregano, and finished with feta and fresh herbs. This recipe takes parts of Greek cuisine you love.
Ingredient Details
For Sheet Pan Salmon:
- Salmon Fillets : Salmon is a great source of protein with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. It helps support your heart health by helping reduce your cholesterol and blood pressure. Salmon is a staple in our house because it’s so versatile. I always make sure to buy BAP-certified salmon and other seafood. BAP-certified seafood is an aquaculture, or fish farming, certification program that exists to ensure your seafood is being sourced responsibly. They ensure that it meets four key requirements—environmental, social, food safety, and animal health & welfare throughout the production chain so you can feel confident in what you’re eating.
- Baby Potatoes : Halved for crispy edges. Yellow or red both work in this recipe, so use what you have!
- Cherry Tomatoes : Halved so they caramelize and release their juices to add the perfect sweetness to the dish.
- Lemon : Sliced for roasting alongside everything to give it a burst of freshness and flavor.
For the Lemon Garlic Sauce:
- Lemon juice (fresh is best)
- Olive oil
- Dijon mustard
- Dried oregano
- Garlic (fresh pressed or powder)
- Salt and pepper
For Serving:
- Feta cheese (crumbled or cubed)
- Fresh dill and parsley
- Tzatziki
How to Make Sheet Pan Salmon
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Make the lemon garlic sauce: Whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, dijon, mustard, dried oregano, pressed garlic cloves and salt and pepper. Set aside.
- To a large sheet pan add halved baby potatoes Drizzle with half of the lemon garlic sauce, toss and then roast for 20 minutes.
- Once the potatoes have roasted, add the halved tomatoes to the sheet pan and gently toss. Nestle the salmon filets in between the potatoes and tomatoes on the pan. Divide the rest of the lemon garlic sauce evenly between the filets, drizzling on top of each. Finally, add the lemon slices to the sheet pan, on the salmon filets and nestled into the potatoes and tomatoes.
- Place back in the oven for 8-12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through to your desired temperature.
- Serve topped with cubed/crumbled feta, fresh herbs and tzatziki.
Tips for Perfect Results
- Pat the salmon dry : Moisture on the surface means your fish will steam instead of roast.
- Don’t skip the potato head start : This is what makes everything finish at the same time since potatoes take longer than the other ingredients to cook.
- Use a big enough pan : 18×13″ sheet pan minimum, ideally with an edge around it to catch the juices from going all over the place. If you feel the tray is too overcrowded, split it into two trays.
- Check doneness by texture : Salmon should flake easily with a fork. Color goes from bright pink to lighter, opaque pink.
Make It Your Own
- Protein: Choose another type of seafood you enjoy or use chicken instead. Chicken thighs work great! Just make sure to increase the cooking time to accommodate.
- Vegetables: Swap out the veggies with any veggies you desire, like asparagus, broccoli, green beans, or zucchini. Add when you add the salmon to the tray.
- Serving: Serve with your fav dip or sauce, and whatever fresh herbs you have on hand
- Sauces: Substitute the lemon juice for honey to make a honey mustard sauce, or use soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger to make an Asian-style dish.
Best served with
- Black Eyed Peas Salad
- Greek Cabbage Salad
- Chopped Green Salad
How to Store Leftovers
Sheet Pan Salmon is best made fresh but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
Common Questions
Absolutely, they are just different terms that can be used interchangebly. The one difference in trays though can be the edges. You’ll want to ensure when making something like this sheet pan salmon that your baking tray has edges so any juices, etc. don’t leak down into your oven.
Your salmon will be done when the consistency is flaky and the color has gone from the brighter pink it is when raw to a lighter pink.
Bake at 375F (190C). Hot enough to roast the vegetables but gentle enough that the salmon stays moist.
8-12 minutes at 375F after the potatoes have had their 20-minute head start. Total recipe time is about 40 minutes.
Yes, but thaw it completely first and pat it dry before cooking.
Wild-caught sockeye or coho has the best flavor. If buying farmed, look for BAP-certified. Both fresh and frozen work well.
Yes. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat at 275F for 10-15 minutes to avoid drying out.

- Once the potatoes have roasted, add the halved tomatoes to the sheet pan and gently toss. Nestle the salmon filets in between the potatoes and tomatoes on the pan.
