    Sheet Pan Cajun-Spiced Salmon with Roasted Vegetables & Spicy Sour Cream
    Title
    • 2 Skin-On Salmon Fillets
    • 1 Delicata Squash
    • 8 oz Brussels Sprouts
    • 1 Lemon
    • ¼ cup Sour Cream
    • 1 Tbsp Hot Sauce
    • 1 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar
    • 1 Tbsp Cajun Spice Blend (Smoked Paprika, Ground Yellow Mustard, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Whole Dried Oregano, Whole Dried Thyme & Cayenne Pepper)
    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the ends of the squash. Halve lengthwise; using a spoon, scoop out and discard the pulp and seeds, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut off and discard the stem ends of the brussels sprouts; halve lengthwise. Quarter and deseed the lemon. In a bowl, combine the spice blend and sugar.

    2 Roast & finish the vegetables

    Place the squash pieces and halved brussels sprouts on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 18 to 22 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven. Evenly top with the juice of 2 lemon wedges. Carefully stir to coat.

    3 Roast the fish

    Meanwhile, line a sheet pan with foil. Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Transfer to the sheet pan, skin side down. Top the fish with enough of the Cajun-sugar mixture to coat and a drizzle of olive oil. Roast 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is browned and cooked through.* Remove from the oven. 

    *The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish. 

    4 Make the spicy sour cream & serve your dish

    Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the sour cream, 2 teaspoons of water, and as much of the hot sauce as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the roasted fish with the finished vegetables. Drizzle with the spicy sour cream. Serve the remaining lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
