One-pan wonders are every busy cook’s dream, and this recipe doesn’t disappoint.

  • Prep Time: 25 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 bunch of asparagus (woody ends removed)
  • 2 large potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced

For the chimichurri:

  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven (5 minutes): Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare Veggies (10 minutes): Toss the asparagus, potato wedges, bell pepper slices, and red onion in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly on a large sheet pan.
  3. Season Salmon (5 minutes): Brush each salmon fillet with maple syrup, then season with salt and pepper. Place them on the sheet pan alongside the veggies.
  4. Roast (20 minutes): Transfer the sheet pan to the oven and roast for about 20 minutes. The salmon should flake easily with a fork, and the veggies should be tender and slightly golden.
  5. Prepare Chimichurri (5 minutes): While the salmon and veggies are roasting, combine all the chimichurri ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
  6. Serve (5 minutes): Once roasted, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Drizzle the chimichurri over the veggies or serve it on the side.

Notes

This dish is proof that uncomplicated meals can still be gourmet. The roasted vegetables and salmon, infused with the richness of maple, make for a delightful bite every time. But it’s the chimichurri, with its fresh and zingy flavors, that takes this dish to new heights. Perfect for weeknights or when you have guests over, pair this dish with a fresh salad or some crusty bread to soak up that extra chimichurri.

Pair this with...

Garlic Bread

Grab a loaf of your favorite bread—baguette or ciabatta are classics. Slice it up, but not all the way through, so it fans out nicely. In a bowl, melt some butter and stir in minced garlic (as much or as little as you like), a sprinkle of salt, and maybe a touch of dried parsley for that extra flair. Generously brush or spread this garlicky goodness between the slices. Wrap the loaf in foil and pop it into a pre-heated oven. When it's golden and aromatic, pull it out and enjoy the buttery, crispy, garlicky delight.

Simple Green Salad

Begin by selecting crisp lettuce leaves, giving them a thorough wash and a gentle pat dry. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them as the foundation of your salad. Next, slice ripe tomatoes, their juicy segments promising a burst of sweetness. Add these to the lettuce, their vibrant red contrasting beautifully against the green. For a refreshing crunch, slice a cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, layering them amongst the other ingredients. For dressing, a light drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice will enhance the salad's natural flavors without overshadowing them. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and any herbs of your choosing.
