Sheet pan Paleo meals are my favorite weeknight dinners. This Whole30 sheet pan fish fajitas recipe is quick and easy, taking under 30 minutes. Made with delicious seasoned cod that you can serve it over cauliflower rice, in taco salads, or burrito bowls. Whole30 sheet pan meals put dinner on the table without any extra clean up!
While you could use any white fish for this Whole30 sheet pan fish fajitas recipe, I highly recommend using cod. It cooks quickly, absorbs the flavors of the seasonings nicely and comes out of the oven perfectly flakey. Other fish options you could substitute would be mahi-mahi, snapper, even salmon!
Living in Minnesota (except for lakes, we’re pretty much the definition of land-locked), it’s hard to get fresh seafood. I have pretty high standards after doing so much researching on the fishing industry, so as much as budget allows I try to not purchase farmed or imported fish as much as possible. 90% of the seafood we eat in the U.S. is imported, mislabeled, and full of antibiotics from being farm-raised fish, and supermarkets don’t offer much in terms of wild-caught fresh fish. I always get excited when I see some at the fish monger!
Once you’ve got your cod, you only need a few fresh veggies to season with spices you already have in the kitchen. It’s one of my favorites to make because it only takes a half hour to put dinner on the table, and the fish is light and perfect for spring. Like I mentioned above, you can serve the Whole30 sheet pan fish fajitas over cauliflower rice, in lettuce cups, or in burrito bowls.
The variety of ways I can eat this paleo fish recipe makes it an ideal one for my meal prep. I can have it a few different ways throughout the week if I decide not to share with the family. Whether for meal prep, or a quick weeknight dinner, the sheet pan recipe makes clean up as easy as possible. Which is the way I like it.
