This Sheet Pan Salmon is easily made with little prep and a favorite salad dressing used as the sauce.
The hardest part of eating healthy is the planning part! When I am on it and I plan ahead and shop accordingly my week is so much easier.
Even better is when I meal prep something like this Sheet Pan Salmon and have it on hand for nights when I feed my kids pasta and I’m not eating it. 
One of my favorite shortcuts in the kitchen is using healthy salad dressings as marinades and finishing sauces. This Sheet Pan Salmon uses Tessamae’s Lemon Garlic Dressing. This is not a sponsored post – I just love it. I also love using their Balsamic Dressing to marinate chicken.
For this Sheet Pan Salmon, I just spooned a few tablespoons over the salmon and the shaved Brussels sprouts right before cooking. Add salt and pepper and that’s it.
It makes a light, flavorful dinner that requires almost no prep and is ready in less than 30 minutes.
Using shaved Brussels sprouts ensures that all the little pieces get caramelized and loaded with flavor. So much better than the full sized ones!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different dressing instead of Tessamae’s Lemon Garlic Dressing?
Yes, you can substitute with another healthy salad dressing that you enjoy, but keep in mind that it may alter the flavor profile of the dish.
Why should I use shaved Brussels sprouts instead of whole ones?
Shaved Brussels sprouts cook faster and get more caramelized, enhancing the flavor and texture of the dish.
How do I achieve the best results when cooking the salmon and Brussels sprouts together?
Make sure to spread the shaved Brussels sprouts evenly around the salmon and season both with salt and pepper to ensure they cook uniformly and absorb the flavors.
