I’m dreaming of this Sheet Pan Lemon Parmesan Crusted Salmon and Vegetables for dinner tonight! To bad I don’t have enough energy to make it right now.

Add some roasted veggies on the sheet pan and you are good to go!
Don’t you love meals that are cooked on the same pan? Sheet pan meals are some of my favorites. Usually they are a little big healthier than my one pot meals, not that I don’t enjoy those too! It’s the beginning of the year so we are all on this mission to eat healthier right? Luckily for you it doesn’t have to sacrifice flavor!
Another thing I love about this Sheet Pan Lemon Parmesan Crusted Salmon and Vegetables is that it only take a few “normal” ingredients to make. I hate healthier recipes that require all these weird ingredients I end up ordering on Amazon or somewhere because I can’t find them in small town Minnesota!

You may be wondering why I’m so exhausted that I can’t make a simple sheet pan meal for dinner tonight? It only takes 30 minutes and a few simple ingredients after all.
The reason is that we have all be sick with the stomach flu this past week, well all of us except RyRy. She’s held out. I’m still waiting for her to fall to it. She’s got about two more days before I’d say she’s made it through!
We attended a family Christmas last Saturday night and a family showed up while battling the flu and shared it with all of us. All of us. Like I’m talking 45 out of 48 people or something ridiculous.
I’m scared for life.
I may never attend another family event again. Or large group event. Or anything.
If you need me you can find me wallowed up at home for the year. It’s HORRIBLE. HORRIFIC.
I’m the worst person ever when it comes to dealing with sickness. I do ok with colds and that type of stuff, but some to the stomach flu and I’m out. Gone. Running away screaming. I honestly need anxiety meds when it comes to that stuff.
If I hear our kids have been exposed to the stomach flu I’m laying in severe panic for the next week every single night. I’m scared to fall asleep because I might be woken in the middle of the night with the dreaded scream of a child getting sick.
Every sound they make through the night and I’m out of bed and into their room in a millisecond. Ready. Waiting.
Everyone is stocked with a bucket by the bed in easy range so I can grab it QUICKLY.
I say a lot of prayers. I use a lot of antibacterial hand sanitizer. My hands are raw from washing them.
And…. I still get sick!
The joys of having children right?
Am I weird? Or is this normal? My Mom is the same way. A few of my friends that I’ve shared this with seem to be the same way also. Please tell me this irrational anxiety driven fear is somewhat normal?
This makes me hope that my children grow up fast so they don’t get sick as often. That’s a thing right? Older children don’t get sick as often?? That’s what people tell me so I’m going for it.
Now, back to those resolutions to eat healthier. I’m right there with you. I have some baby weight that’s clingy. I need to get serious about this. The holidays did not treat my hips nicely. Not at all.
Those jeans are a bit snugger for sure. Plus, who wears jeans? I’m all for leggings due to this reason!
If you are looking for an easy dinner recipe that comes together in 30 minutes, is a bit healthier and still packs a ton of flavor then this delicious Sheet Pan Lemon Parmesan Crusted Salmon and Vegetables is what you are looking for! And if there’s leftovers, another recipe you will enjoy is salmon patties!
If lemon isn’t your thing then omit it. I loved this subtle flavor to top it off, but my husband isn’t a big fan of lemon. So boring.

Linda Ferland says
Ooooo–looks & Sounds Yummy. Can’t wait to try this!
Julie Evink says
Hope you enjoy it Linda!
Krystal Mirkovic says
Quick question! I’m a novice cook over here – how does the crumb mixture stick to the fish?
Julie Evink says
Hi Krystal! I wouldn’t say it really sticks to it, but it’s more of just topped with it!
Bonnie says
Sounds and looks really good. How do you keep the vegetables from tasting “fishy”.
Julie Evink says
I guess I’ve never thought they ended up tasting fishy!
Sharon Bowler says
This says 77g carbs per serving. Is that a typo and it’s really 17?
Julie Evink says
It’s updated! It’s still an estimate but it should be closer now 🙂
AC says
Between steps 3 and 4 is the sheet pan going back in the oven with the broccoli and cauliflower? Or are you waiting to put it back in after the salmon has been coated with crust?
Corey says
Just wanted to say I love this recipe! Have been trying to eat healthier and I don’t usually like fish… made this one night expecting to get takeout and now it’s one of my regular recipes! LOve it and soo easy! I do cook it for a little longer and the crumb topping does make more than you need. but otherwise this is the best salmon ive tried! Thanks!
Julie Evink says
So glad you enjoyed it Corey!
Roberta says
We made this for dinner this evening. The crumb mixture makes way too much for the amount of salmon, but just saved it for a later use. I found that I needed to cook the salmon a bit longer than recommended…added halved Brussels sprouts with the carrots. Overall, very happy with the recipe and will make again.
Julie Evink says
Glad you cooked use it for something else!
amy says
This is seriously like the perfect dinner for me. Pinned for later!
Julie Evink says
Hope you enjoy it Amy! We loved it!
Albert Bevia says
I´m a sucker for salmon, and this version looks incredibly good! I am the same way with the stomach flu, I candle anything else but that!
Julie Evink says
It’s Horrible! We need a vaccine for it or something 😉
