- Hey, Munchies, welcome if you're new.
I'm Alyssia, and I am so excited to have you here.
Especially today, because this sheet pan dinner
is one of my personal favorites.
I make it at least once a week.
Sesame coconut salmon with roasted root vegetables.
If you are gonna meal prep this,
store the components separately.
When you're ready to make the meal,
add everything to a sheet pan.
I've got a filet of salmon as my protein,
and parsnips, carrots, and apples,
which I wait to cut until the day of,
Brussels sprouts and red onion
as my carbohydrates and vegetables.
Remember, starchy vegetables,
like root veggies, are super healthy,
but the starch does make them higher in carbohydrates.
So I tend to use those in place of a grain
or another carb option when I eat them, like a potato.
For the salmon, I mix together coconut butter,
tahini, sesame oil, and coconut aminos.
You could do this in advance if needed for preperation,
but it takes me one minute,
so I'm just doing it when I assemble my meal.
I spread the paste onto the salmon,
and sprinkle on some salt, coconut shreds,
and sesame seeds on top.
For the veggie mixture,
I toss it all in avocado oil, coconut aminos,
a little lime juice, salt, pep,
garlic powder, and ginger powder,
which will all make these veggies pair even better
with the sesame coconut salmon.
Add a foil tent to keep the salmon juicy,
and prevent it from drying out, if you so desire.
And then the entire tray goes into the oven
making for a super-fast weeknight meal.

I love sheet pan dinners because I am not huge on leftovers,
and this is how I meal prep for the week
without having to eat leftovers if I don't want.
This meal, holy moly, the salmon is so rich, but not heavy.
The paste we put on top stays nice and thick
providing so much sweet and savory flavor.
The topping is a nice texture.
It is far for your typical filet of salmon.
The roasted vegetables are also sweet
from the apple, carrot, and coconut aminos,
but bright and fresh from the lime juice.
One of my favorite things about this dish
is how colorful it is.
In addition to balancing meals
with macro and micro nutrients,
I try to think about how much color is on my plate
because in whole foods, color is a sign of more nutrients,
and it's more fun to eat.
