What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels before glazing for better browning and a crisper skin.
- 2Arrange the potatoes cut-side down on the pan to maximize contact with the hot surface for deeper caramelization.
- 3If your green beans are thick, blanch them for 1 minute in boiling water before adding to the pan for even tenderness.
- 4For salmon that's medium-rare at the center, pull it from the oven at 62°C (143°F) and let carryover cooking finish it.
- 5Leftover sheet pan dinner keeps well for up to 2 days in the fridge; reheat gently in a low oven or toaster oven to preserve textures.
