This pan meal is outstanding. The caramelized veggies, tender salmon and fluffy gnocchi made for an especially easy and delicious meal. You should thank me profusely for making this, and for working the bugs out of the prep for you. I used purple cabbage, colored bell peppers and green onions. This one here is a winner!

Pan Salmon, Caramelized Veg & Cauliflower Gnocchi

Notes

Make sure the gnocchi is no longer cold or wet to the touch during the first round of baking. Depending on your oven, this may take longer than 15 minutes. You want the gnocchi to be golden, with some browning, when the baking/roasting process for the whole pan is complete.

Ingredients

1 package Trader Joe’s frozen cauliflower gnocchi
Purple cabbage, 1/2 inch thick slices (I did 3 slices that I then halved)
Yellow, red & green bell pepper, sliced (I did 1 of each)
Green onions (I did 6)
2 individual salmon portions
Olive oil
Sea salt & cracked pepper
Lemon slices

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare large sheet pan with foil and parchment paper.
Spread out frozen gnocchi on the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes & remove from oven.
Add veggies to pan of gnocchi. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Try to keep the gnocchi from touching the veggies. Return pan to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes and remove pan from the oven.
Make room to add the 2 salmon portions. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Return pan to oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Salmon is done when it flakes when poked with a knife or fork at thickest part. Or, be fancy and use a probe to see if temperature is at 145 degrees in thickest part.
