This one pan salmon dinner for one is ready in less than 30 minutes and is bursting with flavor!
Holy cow, I can’t believe the year is almost over! I’m bringing a few more holiday things soon, but thought I’d bring another dinner because I haven’t in awhile. It’s another one-pan meal that I ate a few times while doing my fitness challenge. I bring you: one pan Italian salmon! Not a whole lot of story here this week, so you can get on to the good stuff.
This is so easy, and you can throw in whatever veggies you want on the other side (probably not root veggies or tubers, I don’t think they’d cook for long enough) and voila, you’ve got an entire meal in less than a half hour. Between my salmon portion and one tomato and some mushrooms, it really filled me up and was a perfect amount. It would also be a great meal prep size, although I cannot attest to how the leftovers taste because…well, I ate it all. It does make extra balsamic reduction, though, so it lasted me about 4 servings and a few salads as dressing.
You’ll notice I didn’t put an amount for the Italian seasoning. I think it will depend upon the size of your salmon filet. I sprinkled it with the salt, and then shook the seasoning out until it made a thin crust on the top. Obviously you can adjust to your preference, here.
You may need something a little lighter after the holidays have passed, so maybe file this one away as part of your new year’s resolutions! Here’s another recipe for a healthy one-pan dinner, if you missed it a few weeks ago!

This looks so yummy! (Also, Foodie Theme. <3)
I do love this theme…a really cool person told me about it. 🙂
I noticed you didn’t mention anything about the source of your ingredients… Do you have a favorite place to acquire your salmon? And your balsamic, do you get a really fancy one? Specific brand you like?
Thanks for noticing…It’s getting cold, and obviously seafood isn’t as easy to come by around here. I try to shop deals on wild caught salmon at Sprouts, although I think this one was a good old farm raised from Reasor’s. We currently have two huge bottles of balsamic at home (forgot we already owned one), neither of them are fancy… Hope this is helpful!
