I love making salmon. It’s an easy fish to cook at home, it almost never comes out with a strong or overpowering flavor so I can get the whole family to eat it and actually enjoy it, AND best of all it’s available fresh or frozen so I can keep the ingredients on hand to make this tasty and healthy dinner anytime.

If you haven’t tried the frozen salmon fillets you should!

How to make a sheet pan meal with salmon for WW:
The first thing we need to do is prep our ingredients and get the oven warmed up to 425 degrees F. After that, we’ll make the sauce by combining the lemon juice and a pinch of garlic into the yogurt. Whisk it up really well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Now put the diced potatoes onto a baking sheet. A half sheet pan will work great! Toss the potatoes with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast them, stirring and flipping occasionally for about 30 minutes until they’re thoroughly cooked and soft in the middle.
While the potatoes are baking we can line another half sheet pan with parchment paper to prep for the kale and salmon. Toss the kale with the crushed red pepper, the rest of the chopped garlic, and 1 teaspoon of the oil.
You can add some other seasonings to taste if you like. Dump it out onto the prepped baking sheet and spread it around evenly in a single layer.
After the potatoes have finished baking you can take them out of the oven and put the salmon on top of them in a single layer. Drizzle the salmon with the remaining oil, add some salt and black pepper, and put it into the oven at the same time as the pan of kale.
The kale will need to cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, the salmon needs to cook for about 6 to 8 minutes depending on the thickness of your fillets.
When they’re both done cooking you can pull them out, allow them to cool a bit, and then top the salmon with the yogurt sauce.

The kale burned in 8 minutes 🙁 Just noticed that your time in the paragraphs above the recipe say 8 while the recipe says 5. 5 minutes is probably the right time of the two x)
