SUPERFOOD baked salmon! This one pan meal, baked salmon recipe is ready in 20 minutes and packed full of nutrients. A nourishing, whole 30 friendly, flavorful meal! And all it takes is just a few simple real food ingredients. Promise! Get your sheet pan ready and grab a fork!
Hello my dear friends. Today I’m sharing (yet another) older baked salmon recipe that needs some love and attention. I mean, it’s SUPER good and SUPER easy to make. Superfood Baked Salmon, sheet pan salmon. A Paleo One Pan Meal. In fact this is a whole 30 friendly recipe too. Haha, just in time for April 1st. No foolin’ ya there, I promise!
Originally, the recipe title was blueberry baked salmon. Ironically, that original recipe post was about fighting oxidative stress during racing/training. Ahhh, the memories. Good times, good times. But you see, I adore upgrading recipes because that means I get to boast about their Stellar Superfood INGREDIENTS. Yes, I’m boasting, toasting, and nerding out on nutrition ALL THIS WEEK. I hope you can handle that.
Anyway, this superfood baked salmon recipe is our GO TO quick meal for recovery, whether it be from a workout or a long stressful day.
As mentioned in my apricot bar recipe post, the kiwi (and myself) have these waves of stress that just leave us feeling depleted. And as much as we wish I could say “adios stress, don’t both me,” it still lingers from time to time. Have you ever had those weeks or months?
Well, if you can’t beat it mentally, you might as well do the best to beat it nutritionally. Which means maximizing ALL the nutrients your body needs. What better way to do it then with a veggie packed paleo salmon dish, right?
Hence why I upgraded this oldie but goodie blueberry baked salmon recipe into a ONE PAN MEAL. Yup, SUPERFOOD ingredients plus BAKED SALMON = SUPER POWER for those stressful weeks. Haha, okay really it’s for any time.
Ya’ll, it takes 20 minutes to make this superfood baked salmon. Nothing fancy, just real food doing it’s thang.
What’s in it? Um…. besides pretty colors? Real food, flavor, nutrient dense power! YEA!
- Wild Caught Salmon – Rich in Omega 3 Fatty Acid’s (DHA/EPA) and one of the best fish choices you eat to reduce stress and fight anxiety. Atlantic Salmon is rich in essential nutrients like Vitamin D, iodine, and selenium. SO BAKE SALMON IT UP Ya’ll!
- Basil – Anti-bacterial. Which means it has flavonoids that man actually protect the body from illness and infection
- Blueberries – a Berry with of highest amounts of antioxidants. And so much more to boot!
- Garlic – To kill off those vampires! Kidding. Maybe. No actually, garlic contains certain plant compounds that boost your immune system. So you can live longer. YAY!
- Brussel Sprouts – Brussel Sprouts are high in Vitamin K 1 and K2. Both important for Bone Health!
- Seasonings and Natural Flavor boosters –> Olive Oil/Vinegar, Sea Salt, Pepper
- Lemon – Hello VITAMIN C and did you know Lemon and Sea salt together help with indigestion? Ya, you’re welcome.
See.. Super easy. Super healthy. Super tasty. That’s it.
Now all that’s left is to SERVE IT UP!
HOW TO MAKE SUPERFOOD BAKED SALMON

Let’s bake!

Thank you Sizzlefish for making our week full of good health! Can never go wrong with their Atlantic Salmon.
Come over, I have plate a waiting. And maybe a glass of wine. Red wine, for antioxidants of course.
Cheers to a healthy, restful, nourishing weekend ya’ll!
What’s your go to dish for when you are busy? Ever bake salmon with blueberries and balsamic? Go do it! SO SO GOOD!
Cheers!
This was SO GOOD!! Such a great reset meal and the blueberries were the perfect touch of sweetness without use of refined/added sugar.
★★★★★
Thank you for the feedback Jelena! It’s a fav of ours too, especially when blueberries are in season. <3
Thank for sharing Lindsay
★★★★★
You’re very welcome! Thanks for stopping by.
Was so easy and delicious. Salmon came out perfectly cooked and I followed the directions to a T. Flavors were a great combo.
★★★★★
I’m SO happy to know you enjoyed it, Steph!
Made it again tonight! YUM
★★★★★
WOOHOO! Love that. Thanks Steph!
Is it possible to make this without the balsamic vinegar? I cannot have vinegar in any form. I usually just make stuff without, but not sure of the process of it here. Thanks.
Can you have lemon juice?
Pro tip – she has it on parchment paper in the picture. However, if you plan to broil it, don’t use parchment paper. Also, don’t follow the recipe super tired…or that pro tip won’t dawn on you until you are putting out a tiny fire around the edges of your sheet pan.🤣🤦♀️🤷♀️
*totally worth it through. This recipe is AMAZING!
So delicious and easy to make!
★★★★★
Thanks, Afton! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Lindsay, your dishes and way of your plating are too good. I fall in love with your dishes when I saw images on your blogs. You are too good.
Thank you!
This turned out absolutely divine. My husband and 2yo old ate up every little bit, and so did I and I typically HATE salmon! Thank you for giving us a delicious way to eat healthier. I’m curious to know, what other sides could I serve with this?
★★★★★
Oh I am so so glad! Love that someone loves salmon now!
Tooootally tripling the sauce to have a few nights a week! Love the recipe and the tips! My husband’s Aunt makes this, and it’s one of my favorite dishes. They are Cambodian.
So glad you love it!!
Always watch your content, lots of love all the way from England! 😀 I’ve also pre-ordered your book!
★★★★★
Your feedback helps me a lot, A very meaningful event, I hope everything will go well

You’re welcome, Anna!

Thanks, Anna! It really is so good!!
I doubt I will make it on my first try as I’m an really bad cook, but wish me luck!
Good luck Saiman! Let me know if you have any questions! Glad to help!

Glad to hear!!
is the day we start making mistakes
I’m on a diet! I like Salad but Salads are so tricky to store ahead of time
Never liked fish. But when I had to change the food began to eat it for good. But what happened? Tastes have changed and now I eat Salmon with great pleasure. Thank you for this new recipe for me.
★★★★★
That’s what I love to hear!
You have a great blog – I would think your readership is very high
Looks really delicious, will try it out this weekend.
This recipe looks very delicious! Thanks
Made this with tilapia since that was a lot cheaper than salmon. The entire family agreed that this was well worth making again.
★★★★★
Oh yay! Glad it works with tilapia. Totally trying that!! Thanks Jess
Love this so much! It looks so fancy but easy to put together and it tastes delicious!
★★★★★
Right?! Totally easy and fancy-ish!
Could I make the sauce the night before? This looks amazing. Thanks so much!
love when I have everything in my fridge to try something new!
Awesome! Keep me posted Cody!
This looked so good I had to try it but I’m not sure my sauce came out quite right. I think in the future I would just do the blueberries, a little oil and vinegar, basil, and maybe some garlic salt or powder. The vinegar and garlic were a little strong for me. Also I would probably do the brussels separately because the sauce ran over to them and I like them with just oil s&p. Great combination of flavors though. Thanks for sharing!
Oh no! Really? Did the video help? This is one of our favorite recipes. What vinegar did you use?
Hi, You have introduced me to this nice recipe but unfortunately I am unable to find blueberries over here in my country due to winter now I will have to replace it with red one or add a frozen one. Indeed a fast cooking recipe in 25 mini for sure.
★★★★★
frozen should work just fine! Yay, keep me posted.
Great recipe! The baked salmon looks good and I look forward to making it. Make sure it is NOT Norwegian salmon. Norway has poisoned millions of unknowing people all over the world with their toxic seafood. Walmart, Costco, and other big supermarket chains continue selling this toxic seafood. The victims who eat the Norwegian seafood get miscarriages, strokes and cancer must.
Wow, Norwegian Salmon? I didn’t know this. It seems there’s so many toxic food items on the shelves nowadays that it gets confusing what to buy. I find myself trying to find a review of everything including food to see if there’s any negatives.
Amen to that. You can never be too careful!
This recipe looks delicious! I don’t have any blueberries on hand so I’m considering substituting them with red grapes.
★★★★★
Do you have any other berries? I think cranberry plum or blackberry would be delish
This was really good!
★★★★★
In the meal life is indispensable meal, to have a good meal need to learn and prepare a variety of dishes from the good work and learn how to do from others, your food too, it is very attractive .
Trying this tonight, and can already imagine that it will be wonderful! One little question: is it one lemon, juiced, and another for slicing? (My lemons, after being juiced, are not in any condition for slicing ~haha!)
Dear writer! Many thanks for being there and sharing so seriously content. There is someone who appreciate it and declare thank you so much!
★★★★★
This looks amazing and is on my list for a try. Thank you. Love your site.
Now we are all waiting to witness the great event of cricket tournament IPL Season 11 in April and May 2018. IPL seems the land of opportunities for the youngsters to showcase their talents and secure their positions in the national team.

Oh man- I just made this tonight and my husband and I LOVED it. We are foodies, living in Toronto, and both agreed it was restaurant quality. That blueberry compote was to die for. I have sibo, so making restaurant tasting food here and there for my husband and kids is now one of the things I love to do since we don’t eat out much 🙂 Not to mention I didn’t have to work for an hour+ to get those flavours, which is nice with two young kids at home.
Side note, my hubby came home with a migraine and was nauseous from it. He didn’t feel like eating much but when he tried it and was wowed he came back for seconds and was feeling so much better after the meal.
Thank you! Trying more of your recipes soon 🙂
★★★★★
oh yay!! I love this combo too! so so good. The blueberries truly make it. Thanks for the feedback Alicia
Thanks for sharing.I found a lot of interesting information here. A really good post, very thankful and hopeful that you will write many more posts like this one.
★★★★★
Thanks for your article! I have read through some similar topics! However, your post has given me a very special impression, unlike other posts. I hope you continue to have valuable articles like this or more to share with everyone!
★★★★★
Thank you so much for putting the Skip to Recipe button at the very top! As a foodie and a web developer, it drives me nuts to have to wade through pictures and ads to find the recipe!
That aside, this recipe looks super simple and yummy and I might try this out next week for my family that loves salmon!!
anytime! I totally understand. Google loves words and stories and I always want to be authentic with my readers, but I get that not everyone wants the 700 words of my life or nerdy nutrition. Haha!!
Wow – what an informative blog site – i need to spend more time here and intend to do so
This looks great, i’m making this tomorrow,! The only thing about this that made me roll my eye was the words “Super Food”, unless the food came from Supermans home planet,, it’s not super, just healthy!
LOL! I am a nutritionist so superfood is allowed. Kidding! But I am happy to go visit Super Man and get his approval. 😉
Keep me posted! I hope you enjoy it clint! I’ll call this recipe one pan BERRY AWESOME Salmon & Veggies for you.
Delicious! The husband agrees too. Thanks for a great supper tonight.
so glad! Thanks Jackie!
Awesome recipe, i love salmon gloop gloop!
Love love love one pan meals! And blueberries on top of salmon? Count me in!
Thank you for sharing them! I hope you will continue to have similar posts to share with everyone!
I ate it at the restaurant and enjoyed it. I tried many times but failed. Today saw your guide I learned a lot and drawn many useful things. I believe this time I will succeed. Thanks a lot!
I’m actually going to do this on a plank on my BBQ! That’s pretty supper I think, lol!
great idea! and haha, nice pun!
Yummy! I can’t wait to try it!

You are so super woman!

Thank you friend. You are too kind. YOu are one amazing photographer!
I love when I have everything in my fridge to try something new! I love the idea of bringing blueberries into the mix on this dish.
totally!! so simple and flavorful!
I don’t think I’d ever put blueberries together with salmon, but it looks delicious! And aren’t sheet pan dinners the best!
thanks Lisa!
Sheetpan meals are relatively new to me but yours is the most beautiful display of such that I have seen. I love your combination of salmon and vegetables with this one; beautifully and ever-so deliciously done!
Wow! These photos are absolutely stunning! I don’t even like salmon and I seriously want to run out and buy the ingredients to make this! Gorgeous!
I love one pan meals! And I love the addition of blueberries here! I haven’t seen this combination.
That is one beautiful meal of colors!!!!!
I loooove salmon with fruit. Fatty sweetness is a WIN. I’ll be right over. 😉
Shrimp and Blueberries are also a great combo! You already know that I love every single thing in here 😀 BRUSSELS. Balsamic goes with everything, in my opinion. Everything worth having, it is!
Woah! Blueberries and brusael sprouts- that is such a great combo! Never would have thought of that… delicious!
Blueberries on there?!!! That is so amazing and Im trying it! BTW, do you prefer to cook salmon in filets or by the whole “side” on the sheet pan?
It totally depends. When I have a compote like this, I like do do individual fillets because you can add more or less to each. Plus it is even spread. If it’s a glaze or a BBQ seasoning, a whole fillet is simple and great for a meal prep or salad. Then people can dress it up with more seasoning if they desire. The fillets are thicker, so more like a good steak. Haha, which i love.
