It’s rare we ever go out to eat anymore. A three year old and a one year old doesn’t exactly equal a ‘fun’ dining experience. With the attention span that lasts all of 2 minutes and 12 seconds, Chipotle is usually the hoppin’ spot we go when I’m needing a break from cooking. Because sit down and wait is a thing of the past.

So when my mom visited this summer and we had a day to play (aka shop and dine), it was an almost out-of-body experience being able to sit at a restaurant and have an adult conversation, not stressing about the time it took to get our grub, shove it in our faces, and peace out before someone poops, has a meltdown, or wants to climb out of the highchair. And since it had been three years since I last went out (ok that’s a lie, but it felt like that long), I had no problem relaxing, ordering a glass of wine, and savoring the most amazzzzzing salmon dinner I’ve ever experienced.

My husband had the kids, so I was going to take my sweet time eating every delicate piece of salmon smothered in the most heavenly cream sauce on planet earth. I may or may not have even put my phone on silent. I might have even walked out of that restaurant without a speck of food on my shirt. THAT my friends, is so wonderfully rare!

Quick and easy sheet pan salmon - it's healthy, whole30 compliant, and includes THE most amazing sweet and savory dijon cream sauce

As soon as I got home and reminisced about my no-stress dinner only focused on feeding myself, I knew, KNEW I had to recreate the dinner I just devoured. Was it in my head? Was my meal THAT amazing or my experience being ‘me’ again and having an adult conversation with my mom clouding my taste judgement?

There was only one way to find out. Put my kitchen skills to work and start cooking.

And with Orca Bay Wild-Caught Sockeye Salmon Filets, it was pretty dang easy to fall in love with the premium quality of these salmon filets caught in the Pacific Northwest. ALL of Orca Bay seafood selections are natural – no weird additives and every package has coding that provides traceability for every single product.

This 20 minute sheet pan salmon with creamy dijon sauce is whole30 compliant and so simple to make. A winner with both kids and adults

This sheet pan salmon with dijon cream sauce is THE dinner guys. It’s the dinner of all dinners. Let me tell you why:

  1. Amazing quality of Orca Bay Seafoods Wild-Caught Sockeye Salmon
  2. Stupid easy and quick (hallelujah for sheet pan dinners with protein + veggies with little effort)
  3. THAT CREAM SAUCE. It’s…everything. Cross my heart. This stuff will knock your socks and might even get that picky kid to eat things you never thought possible. I loved smothering this sweet and savory cream sauce over the salmon AND veggies (and maybe all over my plate to lick off later). No shame. None.

It’s easy to throw a few Orca Bay Wild-Caught Sockeye Salmon Filets on a pan with a few sliced zucchini, and whip up that heavenly cream sauce to serve on the side. Simple ingredients and big flavor.

Sheet Pan Salmon with Dijon Cream Sauce

Prep and execution is easy – simply slice the zucchini and (very lightly) coat with olive oil. Place the zucchini into the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Once the 10 minutes is up, remove the pan from the oven and add the salmon filets. Bake an additional 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the boiled medjool dates, coconut cream, and dijon. Add the chopped dill to the mixture and pour over the top of the salmon and veggies for the most bomb-tactic thing you’ve ever tasted.

A creamy dijon sauce with a hint of sweetness, it's the perfect topping for sheet pan salmon. And it's paleo and Whole30 compliant!

Time to step up your salmon game! Give this sheet pan salmon with dijon cream sauce a try, you won’t be disappointed!!

    Made this tonight for dinner and it was so delicious!! I did steamed broccoli with it because I didn’t have any zucchini but the sauce is one of our favorite whole 30 sauces ever! My husband wants me to make a big batch of it so that he can “put it on everything”. Thanks for always posting such yummy, easy meals.

    What kind of coconut cream do you use? Is it full fat in a can?
