Description

Ready in just 30 minutes, these salmon fajitas are a quick weeknight sheet pan dinner. Roasting the peppers, onions and salmon all on one pan makes for easy, minimal clean up. An easy homemade spice mix makes the salmon and veggies packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 medium onion, sliced (about 2 cups)
  • 1 lb. salmon

For serving:

  • Corn tortillas
  • Sliced avocado or guacamole
  • Pico de gallo
  • Cojita cheese
  • Cilantro
  • Limes
  • Avocado lime crema

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and cayenne powder until combined.
  3. Place bell peppers and onion on baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over vegetables, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon spice mixture and toss until evenly coated. Brush remaining spice mixture onto salmon.
  4. Roast veggies for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and using a spatula, move peppers away from the center of the sheet to make space for the salmon filet.
  5. Add salmon to the baking sheet and place back in the oven and bake until vegetables are tender and salmon is easily flaked with a fork inserted in the center, about another 10-15 minutes.
  6. Serve with tortillas and desired toppings like avocado/guacamole, pico de gallo, cojita cheese, cilantro, and avocado lime crema.

Notes

  1. The USDA recommends cooking seafood until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (well done) to help prevent food borne illness. I personally like cooking my salmon to about medium which is cooked to about 120-125 degrees F.
  2. For an extra time saver, use premade taco seasoning instead of making the spice mix.
