Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 small salmon fillets
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 small red chili pepper sliced
For the Veggies
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 bunch of asparagus ends trimmed and cut in halves
- 2 cups green beans cut in halves
- 3 big red bell pepper sliced
- 4 cups sweet potatoes peeled and diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a large sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
- Place salmon on the center of the prepared baking sheet and pour olive oil on top.
- Season salmon with salt, pepper and some slices of red chilli pepper.
- Add sweet potatoes on one side of the baking sheet and asparagus, green beans and red bell pepper on the other side. It’s important that you don’t mix all the veggies together because the sweet potato will need more time to cook than the asparagus, green beans and red bell pepper.
- Pour olive oil on the top of the veggies and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven for 10-15 minutes. The cooking time will depend on the salmon size. Remove salmon, asparagus, green beans and red bell pepper from the oven and continue baking the sweet potato for 10 minutes more or until they are tender.
MEAL PREPPING:
- Place an even amount of salmon and veggies into 4 different glass containers. Cover with the lid and place in the fridge for up 4 days. Heat in the microwave for about 1.5 or 2 minutes. The time will depend on the power of your microwave.

Notes
- Make sure the pat dry the salmon, so the seasoning sticks better and the salmon doesn't seem.
- Alternatively, you can start cooking the sweet potatoes first to ensure they all finish cooking at the same time.
- Make sure you get salmon that is similar in size so they cook evenly in the oven.
- To store: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- To reheat: You can reheat this salmon meal prep in the microwave.
