Swaps or Alternatives
- Salmon
- Although this is the main ingredient in the recipe, you can swap it out for another type of fish such as white fish. You could even omit seafood all together and use chicken instead. Note: the cooking times may vary depending on the protein you use.
- Broccoli florets
- If you don’t have broccoli on hand or prefer another vegetable, any vegetable would work great in this recipe! Other favorties include asparagus, green beans, and Brussels sprouts.
- Olive oil
- Any oil would work in this recipe, but we love olive or avocado oil!
- Honey
- Although the honey can be swapped with another sweetener such as maple syrup or agave, the honey in this recipe really compliments the salmon.
- Low sodium soy sauce
- Coconut aminos are a great gluten free alternative for soy sauce!
- Garlic
- If you don’t have fresh garlic on hand, feel free to use garlic powder.
- Salt and pepper
- These seasonings are simple and you most likely have these on hand. But feel freel to use as much or little, depending on your nutritional needs and preferences.
- Optional ingredients: red pepper flakes; brown, white, or jasmine rice (optional)
- The red pepper flakes give this recipe a little heat. If you like heat and want more, you can also add sriracha and/or chili garlic sauce. For the rice, you can either fully omit or swap with a cauliflower rice for a lower carb alternative.
Quick Tip(s)
- For an easy clean up, don’t forget to line your sheet pan with foil or parchment paper. This will help prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan and makes cleaning up a breeze.
- This recipe can be used with fresh or frozen ingredients, including fresh or frozen salmon, broccoli, and/or rice.
- This recipe serves 2 people, but can easily be adjusted to feed a large family. Simply double, triple, or quadruple this recipe to meet your families needs.
