Salmon, green beans and tomatoes roast together in one pan for an easy and delicious dinner!
When I first saw this tray baked salmon recipe from Jamie Oliver, I knew I had to give it a try!
Green beans, cherry tomatoes, black olives and salmon all roast together in one pan to give you a quick and easy dinner.
The intriguing part was the anchovies. I love anchovies and I know the flavor that they can give to so many things. I love that they break down in sauces, giving you that savory salty that you would never guess is anchovies.
They do the same thing in this one pan salmon recipe! They cook down adding their delightful saltiness and unami flavor to the veggies!
Ingredients.
- Green beans and cherry tomatoes.
- Kalamata olives.
- Salmon - I try to buy wild Alaskan caught salmon.
- Anchovies - I use jarred.
- Lemons and fresh basil.
Step by step instructions.
Preheat oven to 475.
Wash and trim the tips of the green beans.
Since the salmon has such a short roasting time, we begin by blanching the green beans. Just drop them in boiling salted water for about 3 minutes.
Remove them from the water and drain them. Add the to a bowl with the cherry tomatoes and the olives. Toss them with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Pat the salmon filets dry. Squeeze the juice from ½ a lemon over the filets on both sides and the season with salt and pepper.
Place them on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Place the green bean, cherry tomatoes and black olives mixture on the other half of the baking sheet.
Toss the fresh basil in with the green bean mixture. Lay the anchovies over the top of the vegetables.
Roast for 10 minutes and serve with lemon quarters.
This sheet pan salmon dinner is a favorite at our house! You can see that the anchovies practically dissolve.
Served with lemon slices, this is light and flavorful!
You could also serve the salmon with some homemade mayonnaise or aioli.

I love this recipe and have been making it for years BUT....I take exception to your calling this American Cuisine. Jamie Oliver is a good ole Essex lad. Essex is in Britain.
Pam Greer says
Yes, I know where Jamie Oliver is, but he makes all types of cuisines and I didn't think there was anything particularly British about this recipe? Is there?
Jane says
I agree with Elizabeth. There is nothing inherently American about this recipe. Given it is one created by Jamie, “British” would be more accurate.
Mark P. says
Good recipe. I'd make it again. Next time I'd probably not blanch the green beans and omit the anchovies.
Note: you need to update the Instuctions section in the actual recipe (step #3 or #5?) to include the basil.
Mjean says
Thanks for creating and posting this great recipe! I made it this evening it was a hit. I did not blanche the green beans and they turned out delicious! Definitely will make again.
Angela Watson says
Just made this - simple but satisfying. Since I didn't have green beans I used broccoli instead and it was yummy.
Pam Greer says
So glad you liked it!
Liz says
This sounds delicious! I love the colors the veggies bring to this dish! I have some salmon at home, so excited to give it a try!
Audrey says
