    This sheet pan salmon and veggies recipe is healthy and flavorful. If you are looking for an easy dinner, you are in the right place.

    I love this recipe because it is Whole 30 friendly. It is a guilt-free dish and everyone will love it. Trust me, it will be a crowd pleaser.

    I love this one pan Whole30 butternut squash salmon because it’s so flavorful and literally the easiest dinner to make.

    I am a huge fan of sheet pan dinners because as a busy mama, this just makes dinner time on busy weeknights so much easier. I also like meals that the whole family can enjoy but that are also healthy. Another healthy recipe we love is our Whole 30 Butternut Squash Soup.

    Sheet pan dinners are also a great option when you have no clue what to make for dinner. All you need to do is throw some salmon and butternut squash on a pan and call it good! The best part is that you don’t have to do a bunch of dishes, so it is perfect.

    Another option we love when we do not know what we want for dinner is our Easy Frozen Potstickers in Air Fryer recipe. Air fryers are game changers for easy meals. And if you are looking for an easy side dish, check out our Frozen Sweet Potato Fries in Air Fryer recipe.

    If there’s an easy and delicious dinner to make while trying to eat healthy, it’s this one pan Whole30 butternut squash salmon. When I see easy, I mean really easy.

    What you need to make it

    This sheet pan salmon recipe is such an easy recipe and it only has a few ingredients. It is a great source of protein and has a great flavor.

    Butternut squash

    When paired with the salmon, this rosemary butternut squash is the perfect side dish. I do highly recommend using fresh rosemary as it is so fragrant and flavorful. Just make sure to chop it up really small.

    Using a seasoning blend is my favorite way to cook an easy sheet pan dinner. The spices blend together nicely, taking a healthy dinner to a healthy, mouthwatering dinner. Another recipe that has some great spices is our Gluten-Free Orange Chicken with Coconut Rice.

    Salmon fillets

    Cooking with salmon is a win-win because it is yummy and healthy. Salmon is actually great for artery function, it lowers high blood pressure, and helps prevent heart disease. What more can you ask for?

    Another great salmon recipe is our sockeye salmon with honey & ginger recipe. It is another salmon sheet pan dinner and another one of our healthy recipes. I love how you can cook the entire meal on only one pan.

    I love this one pan Whole30 butternut squash salmon because it’s so flavorful and literally the easiest dinner to make.

    How to make it

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees f
    • On a baking sheet, toss the butternut squash in oil and spread out
    • Sprinkle with rosemary, salt and pepper
    • Bake at 400° for 25 to 30 minutes then remove from oven
    • Place salmon fillets on the center of the pan and sprinkle each with salt and pepper to season
    • Bake another 8 to 10 minutes or until cooked through but not dry

    Top tip: Squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top for extra flavor.

    Is it better to bake or fry salmon?

    Baking salmon is a much healthier way to cook salmon. Frying salmon is a tasty option, but it adds more fat and calories to the fish. The cooking time is about the same though (if you are just cooking salmon, not the vegetables).

    What veggies are good with salmon?

    Butternut squash, of course, is great with salmon. There are plenty of other vegetables that are great too. Green beans, red bell peppers, sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, broccoli florets, baby potatoes, and many other veggies are great with salmon. I also like to add lemon slices to the pan for that zesty flavor.

    How do I store the leftovers?

    Place salmon and butternut squash into an airtight container after it has cooled. Keep them in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
