Ingredients
- Veggies: Zucchini, Bell pepper, Red onion – these easy to find veggies cook up quickly and add so much flavor and color to the sheet pan meal!
- Salmon – you can use skin on or no skin salmon for this recipe. The salmon will flake right out of the skin after cooking if you choose to use skin on. I prefer a wild caught salmon, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Be sure to cut the salmon into filets if you have a large piece of fish to ensure it cooks quickly.
- Olive oil – this helps to create the Greek dressing marinade and helps to ensure the veggies get nice and roasted when cooking.
- Red wine vinegar – adds brightness to the marinade and helps to give the salmon and veggies so much flavor.
- Spices: Italian seasoning, oregano, garlic powder, salt – these are all easy to find spices and add so much flavor to the marinade and the salmon and veggies.
Instructions
Check out the step by step story on how to make Greek salmon sheet pan meal.
Preheat the oven to 450F.
Start by chopping all the vegetables. For the zucchini you will want to cut the zucchini into somewhat thicker rounds, about ¼ of an inch or so. This way they maintain their shape during cooking. Chop the peppers and red onion into bite size pieces.
Cut the salmon into portions using kitchen shears. Leave the skin on until after cooking!
In a bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, oregano, garlic powder and salt. Stir well.
Add the salmon and the vegetables to a sheet pan that has been lined with parchment paper or a silicone liner for easy clean up.
Spoon half of the marinade over the fish (it will be thick) and pour the rest over the vegetables. Stir the vegetables well to coat them in the marinade.
Bake the Greek salmon sheet pan meal in the oven at 450F for 12 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve hot!
Tips for making sheet pan meals
- Invest in an extra-large sheet pan and silicone liner to make sheet pan meals. These baking sheets are almost double the size of a traditional baking sheet and allow you to cook a full meal for a family at once.
- If you don’t have an extra large sheet pan, you will want to divide the vegetables from the salmon so the vegetables don’t steam when cooking on a pan that is too small.
- The salmon does not need to be marinate to be flavorful! The marinade is great to pour on and bake immediately!
- Leave the skin on the salmon until after cooking. The skin can easily be peeled off after cooking but the skin helps retain moisture during cooking, it’s also much easier to remove after cooking.
FAQ’s
How long does this last in the fridge?
You can store the Greek salmon and vegetables in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
What other vegetables could you use?

- Small florets of broccoli
- Green beans
- Asparagus
- Summer squash
- Thinly cut carrots
What sides can you serve with this meal?
You can serve the Greek salmon and veggies just as they are without adding anything! However if you want to add a little more to the meal, you could serve this dish with:

Substitutions
Garlic powder: If you cannot have garlic, I highly recommend trying roasted garlic olive oil (I buy it at Trader Joe’s), as it has the garlic flavor without the compounds that often irritate your stomach, making it low FODMAP. You would replace the 2 tbsp. olive oil + 1 tsp garlic powder with 2 tbsp. of garlic olive oil.
Italian Seasoning: If you don’t have Italian seasoning on hand, check out my homemade Italian seasoning recipe.
Red wine vinegar: If you don’t have red wine vinegar you could also use lemon juice. Juice from one large lemon will work well.
