We love the ease of a sheet pan dinner: less cleanup and far less fuss—simply take the pan from the oven to the table for serving. Here, to ensure everything reaches perfect doneness at the same time, potatoes go onto the pan first, and then the fish and broccolini are added later. The potatoes end up alluringly crisp on the outside and tender within, the fish is moist, and the broccolini is perfectly crisp-tender. Pesto is spooned onto the fish at the end, where it melts over the warm fillets and retains all its vibrant colour.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Uncooked red potato

1 pound(s), small, halved

Olive oil

1 tbsp(s)

Kosher salt

¾ tsp(s), divided

Black pepper

¾ tsp(s), divided

Uncooked baby broccoli

1¼ pound(s), trimmed

Uncooked farmed skinless salmon fillet

20 oz, (4 [5-oz] fillets)

Castelvetrano whole olives

16 olive(s)

Reduced-fat pesto sauce

4 tbsp(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, oil, and ¼ tsp each salt and black pepper; toss well to coat. Arrange the potatoes on the pan (do not rinse out the bowl). Bake for 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, place the broccolini in the same bowl used for the potatoes. Coat the broccolini with cooking spray and sprinkle with ¼ tsp each salt and black pepper; toss well to coat. Coat the salmon filets with cooking spray and sprinkle evenly with the remaining ¼ tsp each salt and black pepper.
  4. After the potatoes have cooked for 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and stir the potatoes. Arrange the broccolini and salmon on the pan. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and heat the broiler to high. Broil the salmon and vegetables until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and add the olives. Spoon 1 tbsp pesto over each salmon fillet.
  5. Serving size: 1 salmon fillet and one-fourth of the vegetables
