Healthy BBQ Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner image

Protein- and fiber-packed, this healthy and streamlined salmon dinner for two can be cooked all on one sheet pan. The veggies get a head start, then BBQ-rubbed salmon fillets join in and everything finishes the race at the same time. Use Parmesan in place of Cotija -- a crumbly Mexican cheese -- if you prefer.

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium green bell pepper
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons of your favorite BBQ rub (preferably salt-free)
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels, thawed if frozen
2 tablespoons crumbled Cotija cheese
1 tablespoon 0-percent plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves, chopped, plus whole leaves, for serving
Two 6-ounce center-cut salmon fillets (preferably wild-caught)
2 teaspoons dijonnaise
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the bottom and stem ends off the pepper and cut the ends into corn kernel-size pieces. Remove the seeds and cut the pepper into 4 rings.
  • Scatter the tomatoes down the center of a baking sheet and arrange the pepper rings next to the tomatoes on whichever side you'd like. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of the oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle with salt, pepper and about half of the BBQ rub. Toss together the corn, pepper pieces, cheese, yogurt, cilantro, a large pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Fill the pepper rings with the corn mixture. Bake the vegetables until slightly browned, about 20 minutes.
  • While the vegetables are in the oven, brush each salmon fillet with dijonnaise and sprinkle with the remaining BBQ rub, some salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Once the vegetables are browned, remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the empty side with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Add the fillets, return to the oven and cook until the sides of the salmon feel firm when gently squeezed and the flesh is just slightly flaky, 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges.

This recipe is a keeper! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were roasted to perfection. I loved the crispy skin on the salmon and the tangy flavor of the lemon-herb sauce. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salmon came out dry and overcooked. The vegetables were also a bit too charred.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or a different sauce.
