What could be more Irish than fresh salmon surrounded by the most loved Irish vegetables: Brussels sprouts, onions, carrots, and of course, potatoes? These are combined in a luscious and easy sheet pan dinner, Irish Roasted Salmon & Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner. This one is perfect for any time of the year, and especially for St. Patrick’s day. This dinner can be put together quickly, and it bakes while the cook sets the table and relaxes.

8 Servings
2 medium onions, cut into 1" squares
1 pound carrots, pared and cut into 1" chunks
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, or small red potatoes, cut into 1" cubes, unpeeled
4 ounces thick sliced bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil

2 pounds salmon fillet

Sauce:
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Irish Whiskey
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 lemon, sliced
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Mix the onions, carrots, Brussels sprouts, potato chunks, chopped bacon and olive oil in a large bowl. Mix well and spread on a shallow baking sheet. Bake 40 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, tear a piece of foil 18" x 18" and fold in half. Place the salmon fillet on the center and bring the sides up around the salmon.
4. Mix the honey, whiskey, vinegar, thyme, and melted butter; pour over the salmon and top with the lemon slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. When the vegetables have cooked 40 minutes, move them to the side and place the salmon (in the foil) in the center of the baking sheet. Return to the oven and bake until the salmon is just cooked through, 20-30 minutes depending on the thickness, basting a couple of times with the juices during cooking.
6. Remove from the oven. Place the salmon on a platter. Stir the vegetables and surround the salmon. Serve.
