Sheet Pan Salmon with Purple Potatoes and Romanesco

If you’re in need for a super easy recipe that is so good and really simple to make, I’ve got you covered! This sheet pan meal is Whole30 Approved, Paleo, Vegetarian and oh so good!

While the oven is pre-heating to 400 degrees, I like to take the salmon out to bring closer to room temperature and start prepping the potatoes and romanesco. For the potatoes and romanesco, pending the size - you can either cut in half or quarter them. Once cut to desired sizes, add to a bowl and toss with about 1-2 tablespoons of avocado oil, sea salt, black pepper, half a lemon and 2-3 cloves of baked garlic. Add everything onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and place into the oven at 400 degrees for about 25-30 minutes or until they start to get crispy edges.

While the romanesco and potatoes are cooking, you’ll prepare the salmon with squeeze of lemon, drizzle of olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, 1-2 baked garlic cloves and rosemary in parchment paper. This will help keep the salmon from drying out and super flavorful.

Now that the romanesco and potatoes are done cooking, take the sheet pan out of the oven and reduce the heat to 300. Place the salmon on the sheet pan with the veggies and put everything back into the oven for 20 minutes. When its finished, take it out of the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Hope you enjoy!

Make It:

2. Toss the romanesco and potatoes in avocado oil, sea salt, pepper and baked garlic then add with fresh rosemary to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

3. While the potatoes and romanesco bake, prep the salmon by marinating in olive oil, fresh squeezed lemon, sea salt, pepper, rosemary and baked garlic in parchment paper.

4. Once the potatoes are starting to get crispy edges which is about 25-30 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and reduce heat to 300 degrees. Add the salmon to the sheet pan and place back in the oven for 18-22 minutes at 300 degrees with the potatoes and romanesco on the pan.
