Eat the Rainbow
This sheet pan salmon stir fry is the ultimate weeknight meal. It’s quick and easy to make, and packed with delicious veggies. And now that you mention it, there are a few more reasons why we <3 this meal oh so much! It’s:
- Packed with colorful nutritious veggies
- Can truly be made with ONE sheet pan
- Ready to enjoy in under an hour
- Perfect for meal prep for the week!
Elements of a Sheet Pan Salmon Stir Fry
There are 3 main elements to this sheet pan dish: roasted veggies, broiled salmon and a delicious sauce!
Roasted Veggies
This rainbow of roasted veg is as flavorful as it is colorful. Oh, and there’s a delicious secret seasoning weapon we’ve been using on pretty much EVERYTHING since creating this recipe. You’ll need:
- Red bell pepper
- Yellow bell pepper
- Broccoli florets
- Carrots
- Yellow onion
- Secret seasoning weapon: olive oil and everything bagel seasoning (!!!)
Broiled Salmon
You’ll use the same sheet pan you roasted your veggies on to broil your salmon filets (you heard that right!).
Because the flavor of quality salmon stands out on its own (we love Surrender Salmon if you’re local to the Twin Cities!), this recipe calls for a simple salt and pepper seasoning.
Saucy Sauce
While your veggies are roasting, you’ll whip up this deliciously simple sauce that pairs oh so well with both the veggies and salmon. You’ll need:
- Soy sauce (or tamari for a GF option!)
- Maple syrup
- Minced garlic
- Fresh grated ginger
- Optionals: sriracha (if you like a little heat!) and cornstarch (if you like your sauce a little thicker!)
heat that sauce!
Don’t forget: heat that sauce up right before serving your sheet pan salmon stir fry. Simply microwave for 90 seconds – 2 minutes right before drizzling over the dish. Ain’t nobody like a cold sauce over their hot dish!
What to Serve with Sheet Pan Salmon Stir Fry
This sheet pan meal is delicious on its own, but if you’re looking to pair it with a grain or a noodle, we recommend any of the following:
- White rice
- Brown rice
- Quinoa
- Soba noodles
- Ramen noodles
Can you Double this Recipe?
Heck yes you can! If you’re feeding a larger group, or hoping to meal prep for the week, feel free to double the recipe and use two sheet pans if your oven accommodates.

Easy and delicious! The sauce was tasty, but I might save time and just used some jarred teriyaki next time.
This sauce is my GO-TO for salmon stir fry. It also works great as a marinade, which I did tonight! I add a healthy serving of chili-garlic sauce (instead of the sriracha). The first time I made it, my husband declared it was the best Asian marinade we’ve ever made! A+ Emily and Team FFF!
Picture for reference after stir frying the salmon on the stove top! Have also made as directed on a sheet pan and it’s equally delish.
Woo hoo! Looks amazing!
