Try this easy roasted salmon dinner with baby creamer potatoes and asparagus for a sheet pan meal that's all ready at the same time!
I am SO happy to see Friday roll around this week!
We’ve been getting back on track after spring break and I’m kinda sorta feeling caught up. But also a bit exhausted and looking forward to the weekend!
After mountains of laundry and emails and massive amounts of groceries and cooking, I think I’ve returned us to our regular status quo.
And amid all the catching up, and with the pretty weather outside that the kiddos and I have wanted to enjoy, it’s been a week of easy, fast dinners around here. (Yes, most weeks are, but this one especially. Also, husband was traveling a few of the days, so you know I’m opting for no fuss!)
One of my favorite ways to get an easy, well-rounded meal on the table is to do a sheet pan dinner. You load up one or two sheet pans with your protein, starch and vegetables and throw everything into the oven. BAM!
Check out my sheet pan chicken and broccoli with bell peppers or sheet pan Mediterranean chicken with veggies for more inspiration if you're like me and can't get enough sheet pan dinners.
And if you didn’t know, I have a serious love for salmon. See my southwest baked salmon, honey lime salmon and easy BBQ salmon for just a few examples.
Maybe it’s the nutrition editor in me, who knows we should all be eating more seafood and that salmon is especially great for those omega-3 fatty acids, or maybe it’s because of how darn good it tastes and how very versatile it can be.
What I don’t love? My grocery store salmon must be used the same day it’s purchased.
Most of the time, I plan for this and grocery shop the day I want to make a salmon dinner. But sometimes, that’s just not possible. Like this week.
The best solution? Having some amazing salmon on hand in the freezer to use any night you please.
Especially when it doesn’t need to be defrosted (I always forget to pull stuff out the night before!) and especially when a complete salmon dinner can be cooked in about 20 minutes. Total weeknight win!
BumbleBee SuperFresh® has great flavor and is all natural - no funny business. The ingredients are recognizable and they don't use a bunch of breading or heavy sauces. The salmon shines through and you get a healthy, protein-packed seafood dinner.
And it’s so easy to use.
Just slip the salmon filets into the included parchment paper baking pouch and it goes right on the baking sheet. Completely fuss-free and mess-free! Now if I could just translate that to other parts of my life...
Bumble Bee has lots of great seafood products available, but I went with salmon here, because, well, I’m a salmon kinda gal. Not to play favorites, but it's my favorite fish. 😉 And this way it's already seasoned to perfection and ready to go, so only my oven has to work hard.
I’ve created a full roasted salmon dinner by pairing it with some baby creamer potatoes, asparagus and red pepper strips -- a healthy spring feast!
You can find Bumble Bee SuperFresh® in the frozen seafood section, typically near the seafood counter, at your local grocery store. Check the store locator to find Bumble Bee SuperFresh® near you.
Then snag you some, grab your veggies and get to making a (double) sheet pan salmon dinner the whole family will love!
Enjoy!
XO,
Kathryn

Salmon, potatoes and asparagus sheet pan dinner
Try this easy roasted salmon dinner with baby creamer potatoes and asparagus for a sheet pan meal that's all ready at the same time!
Ingredients
- 2 boxes Bumble Bee SuperFresh® Salmon with Garlicky Black Pepper & Extra Virgin Olive Oil (4 filets total)
- 1 1b. baby creamer potatoes, cut in half
- 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
- 1 small red pepper, sliced
- ½ small onion, thinly sliced
- 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, divided
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder, divided
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Remove salmon from packaging and put each piece into its (provided) parchment packet and fold to enclose. (As directed on box packaging.)
- Place potatoes on one sheet pan and season with 2 teaspoon olive oil and ¼ teaspoon each salt, pepper and garlic powder, as well as the thyme.
- Mix asparagus, red peppers strips and onion on the other sheet pan with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and ¼ teaspoon each salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Place parchment packets on top of asparagus mixture and place on the middle rack of your oven. Place the potato sheet pan on the bottom rack.
- Roast at 425 for 22-24 minutes. After 15 minutes, I remove the potatoes, stir them and rotate the pan in the oven so they cook evenly and get crispy all over. (You can also move the pan to the top rack if it’s cooking too much on the bottom)
- When the cooking time is over, remove sheet pans from the oven and carefully open the parchment paper at the top to let the steam escape. They will be hot!
- Serve potatoes and asparagus mix with salmon filets. Enjoy!

Such a lovely dinner! I'm salmon obsessed 😉
Kathryn
Thanks Rebecca! Me too - totally my favorite fish 🙂
Dawn
I love sheet pan dinners, Kathryn! No fuss and easy clean up. Salmon is also a favourite of my, so good for you! I'm really happy it's Friday, too! I think I'm going to have to try this recipe this weekend. I have almost all the ingredients on hand so it's just a little stop to the grocery store. Have a nice relaxing weekend!
Kathryn
Aren't they the best, Dawn?! And yes to more salmon in my life!! Hope you give it a try and let me know what you think. Have a fabulous weekend girl!
Erin @ Thanks for Cookin'!
I love that you can cook this salmon right from the freezer! I never remember to pull stuff out to thaw either. Hopefully they expand this product line into some rural regions, because this looks delicious!
Kathryn
Glad I'm not the only one who's not good about defrosting ahead of time 🙂 I hope you can find this BumbleBee seafood near you soon Erin - we really enjoyed it!

I love sheet pan dinners and am so happy they are becoming popular. This dish! Look at all of the colors! I love salmon, too and must try this easy weeknight recipe. Thanks so much for sharing.
Kathryn
Thanks Kim! I'm with you - sheet pan dinners are such a sanity-saver for busy weeks and I'm so glad they are catching on. I'm always trying out new versions cause it's just so darn easy! And this seafood one was definitely a hit 🙂
Angela @marathonsandmotivation.com
Great Dinner idea & nice & healthy too! Looking forward to trying it, Pinned 🙂
Kathryn
Thanks Angela 🙂 It's such an easy dinner to throw together!
Nicole @ The Professional Mom Project
This looks great - healthy, easy and yummy. Pinning to try later!

Thanks so much Nicole 🙂
Lisa @ Chocolate Meets Strawberry
What a delicious-looking tray bake, Kathryn! Glad to hear you are starting to feel caught up after your holidays. I always find it a bit overwhelming to come back from holidays and have to catch up on what feels like SO many different things, but I also kind of like the feeling of getting back into my regular routine and the satisfaction of doing lots of housework and meal prep in a short period of time. Strange but true! I guess I'm just a real homebody. Anyway, this salmon looks delightful! We usually buy fresh too but now that we have our freezer (oh yeah!) we are keeping some in there as a back up. Delicious 🙂
Kathryn
Thanks Lisa! I'm a total homebody too and am always happy to get back to our routine. It's just that initial push of settling back in that seems monstrous! And YAY again for your freezer - now you'll have some on hand any time 😉

Healthy, delicious and incredibly good looking ❤ Thank you for sharing ❤❤
Kathryn
Thanks so much Simona! 🙂
karrie@TastyEverAfter
I'm all about one pot or one sheet cooking! Loving these Bumble Bee packages too because I really dig parchment bag baking. Will def have to try this soon, especially when I need a quick meal and don't want to cook. Much better than take out 🙂
Kathryn
I love the parchment paper pouches - they cook fish so well and clean up is a breeze! And I'm all about a little healthy shortcut here and there to help get a home cooked meal on the table!
Helen Fern
Thanks for sharing at the Whats for Dinner LInky party!
Kathryn
Thanks for hosting!
Willow | Will Cook For Friends
I love the idea of sheet pan dinners that all cook at the same rate! I do baked fish a lot, but often times end up cooking the veggies separately to have everything done at the same time. This recipe kind of solves all those issues, and it looks/sounds totally amazing! Girl, you are so fully of good ideas!
Kathryn
Aw, thanks Willow! Just always looking for an easy (er, maybe lazy) way to get a good meal on the table 🙂
Quinn Caudill
That looks so good and simple. Thanks for sharing with us at Throwback Thursday.
Kathryn
Thanks Quinn!
Ashley @The Olive and The Sea
We just had something similar at a friend's house and it was delicious! They cooked the salmon and vegetables in a pan over an open wood fire. So good! Very happy to have a recipe that I can make at home and in the oven since we don't have a wood fire grill... Thanks!
Kathryn
I wish I had a wood fire grill! But this way is super tasty too - and oh so easy!
Debra @ Bowl Me Over
That salmon looks so good - I love a sheet pan meal, so much easier for clean up! Dropping by to do some extra sharing - thanks for linking up on #FoodieFriDIY!
Kathryn
Thanks Debra! Sheet pan dinners are a favorite around here!
