This maple glazed sheet pan salmon is the kind of weeknight dinner that ticks all the right boxes.

By the time it comes out, you’ve got a full dinner — protein, veggies, and carbs — all done at once with almost no cleanup.

How To Make Maple Glazed Sheet Pan Salmon

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the potatoes to the sheet pan and toss them with oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until well coated. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes start to soften and turn lightly golden.

  • While the potatoes are cooking, season the salmon with salt, pepper, and the remaining paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, then set it aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, red pepper flakes (if using), and salt to make the glaze.

  • Take the pan out of the oven and push the potatoes to one-third of the pan. Add the green beans and tomatoes to the center third, drizzle them with the remaining oil, season with the remaining salt and pepper, and toss to coat.

  • Place the salmon fillets on the final third of the pan and brush generously with the maple glaze, saving a little of the glaze for later.

  • Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  • Brush the salmon with the remaining glaze, then broil for 1–2 minutes, watching closely so it doesn’t burn.
  • Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve warm.

Storing Leftovers

Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days.

Recipe Notes 

Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so they roast at the same pace. Smaller pieces mean better browning and no undercooked centers.

Make sure the salmon fillets are spaced out on the pan. Crowding can trap steam and keep the fish from getting that nice glazed finish.

The maple glaze thickens quickly under the broiler, so keep a close eye during that last step. 1 to 2 minutes is perfect for caramelizing without burning.

If your salmon fillets are thicker than average, you may need to add an extra couple of minutes to the baking time. The fish should flake easily with a fork when it’s done.

For the best texture, don’t skip brushing the salmon with extra glaze after baking. That final layer gives you maximum flavor and that pretty, glossy finish.

Variations

  • Swap the veggies — Try asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or zucchini in place of the green beans and tomatoes.

  • Make it spicier — Add extra red pepper flakes to the glaze or brush the salmon with a little sriracha before baking.

  • Change the glaze — Swap the Dijon for whole-grain mustard or add a splash of soy sauce for a sweet-savory twist.

  • Use different potatoes — Baby reds, fingerlings, or even diced sweet potatoes all roast beautifully here.

  • Try a different fish — This glaze also works great on trout, Arctic char, or cod — just adjust the cooking time based on thickness.

  • Herb boost — Finish with fresh dill, thyme, or chives instead of parsley for a new flavor vibe.

Serving Ideas

This sheet pan salmon is a balanced, complete meal all on its own — you’ve got protein, veggies, and potatoes all in one pan, no extras needed! If you want something on the side, a slice of warm crusty bread is perfect for soaking up any extra glaze or pan juices.
