If I were to describe this meal in three words, it would be quick, colorful and flavorful. The beauty of this recipe is that you simply put together the maple rosemary sauce, season your vegetables, throw all meal components on one sheet pan and glaze your salmon before putting the tray under the broiler. Opt for raw vegetables; your fish and veg will cook at a similar rate. Maple syrup aids caramelizing the salmon quite nicely while giving the robust rosemary a contrast. Always use real maple syrup, “maple flavored” substitutions pale in comparison to the real thing. I prefer to use fresh rosemary but only had dried on hand at the time. Either will do well!
Sheet pan salmon is fast enough to be on the table for a hungry family during weeknights, yet beautiful enough to entertain on the weekends. If you’re not a fan of beans or carrots, switch up your vegetable choice for an interesting variety.
