When we want to eat something that feels wholesome but a still little bit fancy, we reach for salmon. It’s easy to cook at home but has the restaurant vibes that give it an extra edge against boneless, skinless chicken breasts. And when you make it on a sheet pan, you only have one dish to clean when dinner is over. Here, 27 sheet pan salmon recipes to prove our point.

The garlic-butter sauce couldn’t be simpler: Just toss everything in a bowl and whisk it together.

10. Spicy Maple-glazed Salmon For Two
One thing we love about salmon is how easy it is to scale up or down depending on how many people you’re feeding. (You know, if you’re not into microwaved leftovers.)
11. Sheet-pan Mustard Salmon Dinner
You can swap the veggies if you want, but make sure they’ll cook in about 20 minutes so everything is done at the same time.

15. One-pan Sesame-ginger Salmon And Broccoli
This one’s a guaranteed hit, especially if you have kids with discerning palates at the table.
16. Spring Sheet-pan Salmon
The lemon tarragon sauce is so good, it might steal the show. (And it takes two seconds if you make it in the blender.)
A Better Happier St. Sebastian
