Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds. It’s similar to almond butter or peanut butter but made with sesame seeds.

Tips for making sheet pan meals:

Put down a sheet of parchment paper or invest in a silicone liner to make clean up a breeze!

If you want to fit all the vegetables and salmon on one sheet pan, invest in an extra-large sheet pan! If you don’t have an extra-large sheet pan, you may want to cook the salmon and the vegetables on separate sheet pans so that the vegetables have room to cook without steaming.

It’s best to leave the skin on the salmon when cooking. The skin can easily be peeled off after cooking but helps retain moisture during cooking, it’s also much easier to remove after cooking.
