Sheet Pan Lemon Garlic Butter Shrimp with Asparagus is a meal in one with five minutes of prep and 10 minutes to cook. Tossed in a delicious lemon garlic butter sauce this recipe is a keeper!
Spring is right around the corner. I can feel it. The snow is starting to melt and I love the flavors and produce of spring. Sheet pans are such a must when it comes to an easy meal for the family and are so popular right now. We make sheet pan meals all of the time and I love the convenience of them. With spring comes Lent and I have a delicious recipe that I am sharing with you today!
Those of you that are observing Lent, don’t let Lent have you fishing for flavor! I am so excited to be teaming up with McCormick to help spice up your Fish Friday Favorites! This sheet pan meal is big on flavor and you don’t have to sacrifice on taste.
I love using McCormick’s seasoning mix packets in recipes. They make it so easy to put together flavors and bust out a complete meal that will blow your family away. I used the Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Mix and boy was it amazing!
Lemon + Garlic + Butter = the most incredible flavor combination EVER. It really coats the shrimp perfectly and adds such incredible flavor. I LOVE asparagus this time of year and it gets crisp on the outside and tender on the inside as it cooks along side the shrimp. I added some lemon slices for added flavor and it makes such a beautiful presentation when you pull it out of the oven.
You guys. This meal is too easy NOT to make. All it takes are some fresh shrimp and asparagus and it gets tossed in an amazing lemon garlic butter seasoning mix. It takes under 8 minutes to cook and you have a wonderful meal ready for your family in just 15 minutes! Your family will never know how easy this meal was for you to make.

Sheet Pan Salmon & Green Vegetables With Herb Garlic Sauce
This healthy and nutritious sheet pan baked salmon with herb & garlic sauce and green vegetables is quick and easy and suitable for paleo, keto, whole30 and AIP diets.
Not sure if you’ve noticed, but I’ve been obsessed with quick and easy sheet pan meals recently. You might have tried my chorizo, chicken and asparagus bake, this quick and easy baked spiced cod with Brussels sprouts, my mushroom with balsamic chicken and onions, or my Italian sheet pan baked eggs. Today, I’m giving you a nutritious, delicious, super food packed meal of baked salmon with zesty herb and garlic sauce and green vegetables.
This sheet pan meal ticks so many boxes: paleo, keto, AIP and Whole30 friendly, it’s a perfect meal for anyone doing a reset. It has loads of green veggies, it has omega-3s rich fish, it’s quick and easy, and most importantly, it’s full of flavour.
Cook’s notes
I am using salmon fillets because I love oily fish and my partner really likes this particular type of fish. You can use any other part of salmon, like salmon steaks which are cheaper, or any other fish that suits your budget and location.
You can also make this with prawns or chicken instead of fish. For prawns, start baking the vegetables earlier and add the prawns in the last 5 minutes as they don’t need much time to cook. For chicken, it’s the other way around. Slice the chicken fillets into thinner strips and bake for 5 minutes before adding the vegetables, then cook for 15 more minutes together, so a total of 20 minutes for thin strips of chicken.

For the sauce
For the rest
- Preheat the oven to 200 C / 400 F.
- Mix together the sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
- Grease a large sheet pan or flat-ish baking tray with about a tablespoon of olive oil and place the salmon fillets in the middle, leaving about an inch of space in between. Spread even amounts of the sauce over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Scatter the green vegetables around and in between the fillets, overlapping each other is fine. Drizzle the vegetables lightly with olive oil (about 2 tablespoons) and the juice of half of the remaining lemon. Sprinkle with a few pinches of sea salt and pepper.
- Place the tray in the oven for 15 minutes, rotating halfway if your oven is slightly uneven in temperature (like mine).
- Serve while hot with any additional vegetables, salads, or starchy carbs, if you needed.
