They’re as easy as turning on the oven: sheet pan suppers leave little for cleanup. This one offers simplicity while focusing on wholesome ingredients. Salmon is an excellent source of essential omega-3s, and red bell peppers ring in with oodles of healthy lycopene for a heart-healthy, easy-peasy dish.
Wine pairing
Wine to serve with salmon is typically mild, crisp, light, and smooth. In this recipe, we’ve added a complexity of flavours such as smoked paprika with lime, the huskiness of cumin, and the light hint of honey. Altogether, it comprises warmth with lime edginess and a bit of heat. Look for a Gewürztraminer or a Riesling to marry with this dish.
Tip
Add any vegetable to the sheet pan when roasting peppers, such as broccoli or cauliflower florets.
