    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • Easy! Many people are intimidated to cook fish. Don't be! Only one pan is needed for this 30-minute dinner! 
    • Tasty! Honey Butter Salmon is mixed with the classic Old Bay Seasoning for a sweet and salty taste. Even if you aren't a fan of salmon, this recipe will change your mind. 
    • Versatile! Switch up the vegetables on this sheet pan dinner for ones that your family loves. 

    Ingredients

    Honey Butter Old Bay Salmon ingredients.
    • Salmon Fillets act as the protein for this dinner. 
    • Honey, Melted Butter, and Old Bay are combined to glaze the salmon for a sweet and salty combination. 
    • Potatoes and Asparagus are cooked on the same pan as the salmon for a complete sheet pan dinner. 
    • The vegetables are seasoned with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Salt, and Black Pepper. 

    See the recipe card below for exact ingredient measurements. 

    Substitutions and Variations

    • You can use fresh salmon fillets, frozen salmon fillets that are de-thawed before cooking, a one-pound portion of salmon, or a side of salmon. If cooking a large piece of salmon, cut it into portions after cooking. 
    • If you don't have Old Bay Seasoning, try using J.O. Seasoning. You can also use Cajun Seasoning. Or, make your own seasoning by combining paprika, celery salt, and a little red pepper. 
    • For ease of cooking, I use bite-size yellow or red potatoes. You can also cut sweet potatoes or yellow potatoes into 1-inch size chunks. 

    Instructions

    Sheet pan covered with parchment paper.

    Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. 

    Potatoes on a sheet pan tossed with salt, pepper and EVOO.

    Step 2: Toss the potatoes with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, salt and pepper. Bake potatoes for 15 minutes. 

    Melted butter and honey combined in a small bowl.

    Step 3: While the potatoes are baking, microwave the honey and butter together for 30 seconds. If the butter is not melted, microwave for 15-second intervals until it is melted. 

    Melted butter and honey mixed with Old Bay Seasoning.

    Step 4: Add the Old Bay Seasoning to the mixture. Whisk together.

    Salmon on a sheet pan with semi-roasted potatoes.

    Step 5: Add the salmon to the same sheet pan that the potatoes are on. Drizzle the butter mixture over top of the salmon.

    Step 6: Toss the asparagus with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Salt, and Pepper. Add to the same sheet pan. Cook for 15 more minutes until salmon has reached desired doneness and reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. 

    Equipment

    • Small Mixing Bowl to microwave honey and butter
    • Rimmed Baking Sheet
    • Parchment Paper 

    Storage

    Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days in the refrigerator. I recommend waiting until the salmon cools completely before placing it in the container. 

    Top tip

    If using frozen salmon, pat any extra moisture with a paper towel prior to cooking.

    FAQ

    Do you cook salmon with the skin on?

    Yes, cook this salmon with the skin on. Keeping the skin on while cooking, locks in moisture. After cooking, I cut the salmon fillet away from the skin. However, it is safe to eat salmon skin, and is a very nutritious part of the salmon. 

    What is the best kind of salmon to buy?

    When buying fish, I always prefer to buy fresh not frozen fish. In my opinion, the best kind of salmon is a fresh, large fillet with the skin still on. I like to cook one large fillet on my sheet pan and then slice it into individual servings. This salmon is always moist. 

    How do I know when salmon is cooked through?

    Salmon is cooked through when the internal temperature of the meatiest part of the fish reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. The salmon will change from a bright pink color to a light pink color and easily flake.
