Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Salmon
A complete sheet pan supper with ONE PAN to clean! With roasted potatoes and green beans with the BEST garlic butter sauce!
Our St. Patty’s day was rough.
Really rough.
We missed dinner.
And inhaled a massive cheeseboard instead.
With mini donuts.
And some more cheese.
See?
I told you.
It was rough.
To recover, I have this.
Because you know I love a garlic butter sauce.
I mean, I’m drinking this sauce for breakfast.
But don’t worry.
It’s all balanced out with those green beans.

Just made this meal, and I thought I would comment. So good!!
We did the recipe exactly except our salmon portion was a little bit smaller. I did end up sautéing the green beans afterwards just to make them a little more tender, but it was no big deal.
Make it…you will not be disappointed!
Made this meal tonight. Everything was exact but the size of the salmon. We are only 3 and the piece I chose to feed us was only 650 grams (1.5 lbs) and not 1000 grams (approx 2 lbs). I measure the potatoes and green beans and potatoes and followed the rest of the recipe exactly as written, cooking for 18 minutes. Fantastic and perfect! We will definitely be making this again. Yum.
I was SO disappointed! I followed the recipe to the letter. All ingredients were fresh. Even though I pre cooked the potatoes per the recipe. I also precooked the beans a little. Both came out undercooked. The salmon was ok, but the dish lacked flavor over all. I took a photo that looked just like yours.
Thank you for your wonderful recipes. I am required to be on a no refined sugar, no grain diet and no canola oil. I love that I can convert many of your recipes easily and have them be delicious. Again, thank you so much. Also, my husband thanks you!
Omg, this recipe is a godsend. It’s incredibly delicious and the mix of flavors go super well together. Thank you for sharing it. I love it!
I bought a large half of Norwegian salmon and it turned out fantastic. However, the green beans did not cook enough nor did the potatoes. They were small red potatoes that I cut into fourths. I took the salmon out of the oven and covered it with foil and let it rest while I put the veggies back in to cook longer. The potatoes did OK but the green beans just sort of shriveled up and did not cook and did not look appetizing. I turned the amazing salmon into patties today and am serving with a creme fraiche, lemon and horseradish sauce.
Wow what a great recipe, looks delish!!! I have a one-pan recipe too and would LOVE to hear your input on it!
I visit the site often and love many of the dishes here. After making this, I feel you can cut back on the butter… too much to top a fatty fish. Also, I didn’t have green beans, so I used broccoli and it was great.
Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! Fixed it tonight for supper and my husband keeps raving about how good it was. He said it tasted like restaurant quality. Thank you again!
This looks AMAZING! Can’t wait to try it.
Made it tonight, bloody fantastic.
I love sheet pan meals; such easy clean up!
I’m practically drooling. I love salmon and this sounds fantastic!
I love your recipes, and this one is no exception. Thank you for your talent and generosity.
beautiful photos– it looks delicious
Where did my comment go?
You can double if you wish to do so. Also, please note, comments take 24-48 hours to be moderated.
That looks like a whole lot more than 1 lb of potatoes and 8 oz green beans. Shall I double those amounts?
This looks great! I am only a recent ‘convert’ to cooking salmon and have been pan frying it only. Can I cook this on parchment paper without adding a non-stick spray? Or do you think I have to spray the parchment paper too? I want to try it later this week to ‘practice’ as this looks (and I hope tastes!) like the exact recipe I want to make next month for our holiday dinner. I’m so over cooking for 2 days (and cleaning up!) before the entire family comes over. I’m hoping this will help me streamline my time!
You may not need nonstick spray with parchment paper. But as always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
Finally! A salmon dish with a pack of good and healthy stuff. My Dad went for fishing last Friday, and he brought with him some big salmons for us to share. I’m actually considering the usual salmon dish with lemon but I guess it kinda looks boring already since it’s my Mom’s specialty. I wanna create recipe out of it so here comes your dish that is definitely worth the try. Talk about timing!
Annyong hase-yo!
Thank you for your delicious, colorful, easy cooking recipes! They almost make me want to cook again. I’ve been forwarding your recipes to my daughter who lives upstairs. Perhaps she’ll make this old halmoni happy soon.
My friends are grateful to you too. Keep up the great work!
Mahalo and Aloha,
