Sheet Pan Salmon

 We bought frozen salmon fillets recently, so I have been looking for recipes.  I thought we might like this sheet pan recipe with some fajita spices.


 

Ingredients:

Salmon and Veggies:

• 2 Five oz salmon fillets
• ~1 Tbsps Fajita seasoning (see below)
• 1 potato, sliced into thin fingers (if not using tortillas)
• 1 bell peppers, sliced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 Tbsps fresh chopped cilantro or parsley

Marinade:

• 2 Tbsps olive oil
• 1 Tbsps fresh lime juice
• 1 Tbsps fresh orange juice
• 1 Tbsps low sodium soy sauce
• 1 fresh garlic cloves, minced (or 1/4 teaspoon granulated)

Seasoning:

• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions:

1. Mix the seasoning together.
2. In a shallow large bowl or dish, whisk together all of the marinade ingredients with 1/2 of spices.
3. Add salmon and marinate at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
4. After 15 minutes, preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
5. While salmon is marinating, slice the potato, microwave for 2-3 minutes to soften in medium sized bowl.
6. Slice peppers and onions.
7. Line baking sheet with Silpat mat (or parchment paper that you spray lightly with cooking spray)
8. Add onions and bell peppers to bowl with potatoes.
9. Sprinkle with remaining fajita seasoning and 1 tablespoon of marinade.
10. Toss until evenly coated, then spread evenly on baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes.
11. Remove pan, stir veggies, then add salmon to end.
12. Bake at 400 degrees for another 12-16 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
    
    


13. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro

Carole's Notes:

We liked this! You could make it more fajita-like, with salsa, tortillas, and cheese.
