Sheet Pan Blacked Salmon Bites with Broccoli, Potatoes & Magic Green Sauce
As a busy mom, I can attest to the fact that there is no greater meal than a classic sheet pan dinner. This is not only a simple method for cooking up any variety of protein and veggie, but it’s usually an easy way to get wholesome foods into your family’s diet. We jazzed up this simple meal with a yummy “magic green sauce” that my kids ACTUALLY ate and loved (because hey, it’s magic!)
That magic sauce is not only delicious but it’s loaded with cilantro which is a wonderful ingredient to incorporate into your kid’s diet because it aids in the process of eliminating heavy metals. Along with protein packed Greek yogurt, and detoxifying garlic this is a great sauce to add to any meal to jazz it up!
The salmon is tossed in a simple seasoning that would work well with any meat you fancy. Chicken, pork or steak.
My kids loved this meal and I’m so happy to report that the age group of 2, 4, 41 and 42 years-old give this a double thumbs up!
Happy sheet pan cooking everyone!

Preheat the oven to 400F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet and set it aside.

In a large bowl, mix together the date sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, thyme, and salt.
Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of the melted ghee over the salmon chunks then dip each chunk into the spice mixture. Set them on a tray to the side.
Drizzle another 1-2 Tablespoons of the melted ghee over the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and then place them in the oven on the baking sheet for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and give the potatoes a good toss. Add the salmon and broccoli onto the baking sheet. Drizzle the broccoli with the remaining melted ghee and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the try back in the oven until the salmon is cooked through and the broccoli is lightly browned and tender. About 9-10 minutes.
Serve with the Magic Green Sauce and enjoy!
