This sheet pan salmon recipe offers a delicious and nutritious meal that's incredibly easy to prepare, making it perfect for busy weeknights.

The combination of flaky salmon, tender roasted bell peppers, and a bright, herbaceous lime-cilantro dressing creates a balanced and flavorful dish that's both satisfying and good for you.

Method

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the sliced red bell peppers on the baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes.
While the peppers are roasting, prepare the cilantro-lime dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2/3 cup olive oil, lime juice, chopped cilantro, honey, and minced garlic until well combined. Season the salmon filets with salt and pepper. Place the salmon in a large bowl, pour half of the dressing over them, and toss gently to coat. Reserve the remaining dressing.
After the peppers have roasted for 10 minutes, remove them from the oven. Place the marinated salmon filets on top of the peppers on the same baking sheet. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the salmon is cooked through.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked brown rice among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with a salmon filet, roasted peppers, and sliced avocado. Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side. Offer the reserved dressing for drizzling.

💡 Tips

Ensure salmon is not overcooked to maintain its moist and flaky texture.
Adjust the amount of lime juice and cilantro in the dressing to your preference.
For a quicker meal, use pre-cooked brown rice or a quick-cooking variety.
