Ingredients needed to make this salmon sheet pan dinner.

How to Make This Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner Recipe

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 18 x 13 inch rimmed baking sheet or any large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour half the bag of sweet potato chips into a bowl and crush to crumbs.

Place two tablespoons of dijon mustard, honey, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Whisk well. Then toss the sauce with the snap peas and broccoli.

Cut the salmon into 6 pieces. Brush the tops of the salmon pieces with the remaining Dijon mustard. Sprinkle the tops with salt and pepper. Then press the tops into the crushed sweet potato chips.

Place the salmon fillets, crust-side up, on the baking sheet. Arrange the snap peas and broccoli around the salmon and bake for 12-14 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked through. Serve warm and enjoy!

When you finish off the Sweet Potato Crusted Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner, just throw away the parchment paper and wipe off the pan.

Tips & Tricks

Switch up the vegetables! I chose broccoli and snap peas, but really you can add any vegetables that you would like! Some great options would be baby potatoes, cauliflower, green beans, asparagus or zucchini!
Change the protein! If you aren’t a fan of salmon, replace it with chicken or another fish like cod or halibut!
Don’t over cook the salmon! Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish. Salmon is done cooking once it hits 145 F! Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature and ensure that it is done cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I cover salmon when baking?

In this case, no. Since you want a super crispy sweet potato chip crust on this salmon, you should cook it without covering it. There are other times when you can cover salmon when baking it, but it is never necessary.

How should I store leftover salmon dinner?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat any leftovers in the over, toaster oven or air fryer to keep that crispy crust!
