Weeknight dinners used to feel rushed in my house, but then I discovered the magic of sheet pan meals. My sister and I would toss everything on one pan, slide it into the oven, and spend the rest of the time catching up over tea while the kitchen filled with the scent of roasting vegetables. This garlic herb salmon sheet pan dinner takes me back to those moments. The crisp edges of sweet potatoes, the tender bite of zucchini, and salmon so flavorful it barely needs a sauce. Minimal cleanup, maximum flavor, and plenty of time to focus on the people around the table.
