Speaking of salmon, I’m super excited that I got to meet up with Grant Niver, founder of Surrender Salmon for a little lesson on salmon, the fishing industry and how they’re doing things differently (read: better). I always love supporting local Minnesota companies who are doing awesome things and it’s important to me to know where my food is coming from when possible, so partnering up with them seemed like a no-brainer!
I don’t take every partnership that comes my way. In fact, I don’t take a majority of them. I hold this blog (my baby!) to high standards, so if a company’s ingredients or mission doesn’t match those, I know it’s not a good fit. And even though I’m not being paid for this, Surrender Salmon is doing really, really amazing things. They’re working hard to bring wild salmon that their family catches in Alaskan waters back to Minnesota and then educate Minnesotans on knowing where their fish is coming from.
The crew at Surrender Salmon (Grant, his brothers and his dad!) are the fishermen, which removes the middleman, making it so you’re buying your fish right from the source. Their wild salmon (fyi: most salmon, even “organic” is farm raised!) is caught in Bristol Bay, Alaska, bled and refrigerated right away on the boat and then immediately flash frozen and vacuumed sealed, which is why it doesn’t have that fishy taste and smell. It’s truly some of the best stuff I’ve ever tasted.
It was just a really cool experience to speak to Grant and learn about how fishing wild salmon works. These are hard workin’ guys who truly care about the quality of their fish and the health of their customers. If you’re in Minnesota, I’d definitely check them out. If not for all the good work they’re doing then do it for the super awesome price of $14/lb which is such a great price point for wild salmon.
For the first part of this recipe, all you’re going to be doing is baking the potatoes. I love to just use some oil (avocado or olive is the best for this), pepper and minced garlic. YUM. While the potatoes are cooking, just quickly trim the ends of the green beans off, coat with a little oil and salt and then prepare the salmon.
Typically, when I’m making salmon I like to use a paper towel to soak up the extra moisture on the flesh. You don’t have to press hard but make sure you do this prior to seasoning it. All I do is drizzle a bit of oil (not a ton!) and add the spices and lemon juice. That’s it! Honestly, this salmon is so good you really don’t need much of anything to make it even tastier.

I make this recipe almost weekly. It’s so easy, flavorful, and healthy. Even my salmon-rejecting husband will eat it.
Erin Davis says
Have you ever made these sheet pan meals on a grill? It’s becoming too hot to turn on our stove. Just wondering if you’ve tried it! Thanks.
paleobailey says
Absolutely! I’d recommend using a grill pan such as this: https://amzn.to/2Ik4vmz so the salmon doesn’t stick and the veggies don’t fall through. You can also use a cast iron on the grill as well!
Jackie Schroeder says
When I broil the salmon, where should the rack be placed in the oven? Right below the broiler or towards the lower half of the oven? Thanks
paleobailey says
Towards the lower half of the oven! If it is right below the boiler, just keep an eye on it 🙂
EL says
Broil the salmon? Don’t continue baking at 400?
paleobailey says
Hi! Really, you can bake or broil it. The salmon will only be in the oven for about 10 minutes so either works. You may need a bit more time (10-15 minutes) if you keep the oven settings on bake.
Cori Olson says
Delaney made this tonight and it was DELICIOUS! We put the Salmon right on top the veggies…. but next time I think we will make a space for it so the skin doesn’t stick to them.
paleobailey says
Thank you for commenting and letting me know!! So glad you liked it. It’s one of the easiest and quickest ways to get a healthy meal! You can definitely make space for the salmon – or remove the skins prior to baking! 🙂 Thanks Cori!
