Sheet pan meals are incredible. They are so easy to prepare, are a complete meal in a pan, and are packed with whatever protein and flavor you want. It's your perfect weeknight go-to meal.

This sheet pan salmon teriyaki could not be easier or more delicious. It's chock full of vegetables, heart healthy salmon, and a sweet and tangy teriyaki sauce.

You can totally customize the veggies in this dish, as well. Try whatever looks good in the grocery store; snow peas, carrots, bell pepper, broccoli, green beans, Brussels sprouts, and even pineapple all work great. Pick what is in season if you can. Do different amounts of different veggies depending on what you like.

Serve this sheet pan with some freshly cooked rice on the side. Or add some cauliflower rice to a quarter of the pan for a low-carb meal. Yum!

Tips

  • Make sure to grease the sheet pan with a little nonstick spray.
  • Leave the skin on the salmon. This will also prevent the flesh from sticking to the pan.
  • You can marinade the salmon in some of the sauce for up to 12 hours before cooking. This will intensify the flavor. But if you are looking for a quick dinner it is totally not necessary.

Variations

  • You can totally do this recipe with chicken or shrimp. Shrimp will take a little less time to cook. Chicken will usually take a little longer.
  • You can substitute honey for the brown sugar and rice vinegar is a great substitute for the white vinegar.
  • You can use premade marinades if you want to make this super easy. The possibilities are endless.
