Elements of a Sheet Pan Salmon Stir Fry
This recipe is built from three main parts: roasted vegetables, broiled salmon, and a simple stir-fry sauce. Each component is easy to prepare and comes together quickly for a balanced, crave-worthy meal.
Roasted Veggies
The roasted vegetable mix provides texture, color, and nutrients. A light coating of olive oil and a generous sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning give them an extra boost of flavor. Typical vegetables used in this recipe are:
- Red bell pepper
- Yellow bell pepper
- Broccoli florets
- Carrots
- Yellow onion
- Olive oil and everything bagel seasoning to taste
Broiled Salmon
The salmon is broiled after the vegetables roast, using the same sheet pan setup to save time and dishes. A simple seasoning of salt and pepper highlights the salmon’s natural flavor. When broiled correctly, salmon is tender and flaky, making it easy to shred and toss with the vegetables.
Sauce
A quick, sweet-savory sauce ties the dish together. It’s made with soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option), maple syrup, garlic, and fresh ginger. Sriracha adds heat if you like it, and cornstarch can be used to thicken the sauce slightly. The warm sauce poured over hot vegetables and salmon makes everything feel cohesive and restaurant-quality.
- Soy sauce or tamari
- Maple syrup
- Minced garlic
- Fresh grated ginger
- Optional: sriracha for heat, cornstarch as a thickener
Heat that Sauce!
For best flavor and texture, warm the sauce right before serving. Heat it briefly — about 90 seconds to 2 minutes — so it’s hot when poured over the warm vegetables and salmon. A warm sauce blends more evenly and brings the dish alive.
What to Serve With Sheet Pan Salmon Stir Fry

Can You Double This Recipe?
Yes. If you’re cooking for a crowd or prepping meals for the week, double the ingredients and use two sheet pans if your oven can accommodate them. Spreading vegetables out on two pans helps them roast evenly and prevents steaming.

- 2 large carrots, cut into matchsticks
- 1/2 large yellow onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning

- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger

Salmon
- 12 oz salmon (two 6-oz filets is a common option)
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
Veggies
- Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
- Place chopped broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, and onion on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the vegetables and toss again.
- Roast at 375ºF for 20–25 minutes, or until vegetables reach your preferred level of tenderness.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables into a large bowl and set aside.
Sauce
- While the vegetables roast, whisk together the soy sauce (or tamari), maple syrup, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a bowl.
- If using cornstarch, mix 2 teaspoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons warm water in a small bowl until dissolved, then whisk into the sauce. Add sriracha if you want heat.
- Heat the sauce briefly right before serving — about 90 seconds to 2 minutes in the microwave — so it’s warm when you pour it over the hot components.
Salmon
- After the vegetables finish roasting, preheat the oven to high broil.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place them on the prepared foil and lightly spray the tops with cooking spray. Season with ground pepper.
- Broil on high for about 8 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes, then flip to remove the skin and use a fork to break it into large flakes.
- Add the flaked salmon to the bowl with roasted vegetables. Pour the warm sauce over everything and toss gently to combine.
- Serve the stir fry over rice, quinoa, or noodles, and enjoy.
