Cook This | Sheet Pan Salmon with Rainbow Veggies

I was browsing Amazon Fresh this week while placing a grocery order, and I found a whole section with recipes. You can search for recipes based on different criteria (healthy, kid-friendly, paleo, etc) and add ingredients directly to your cart from the recipe. I love a good sheet pan meal because it means the mess is contained to just one pan – and I love anything I can toss in the oven. This one originally appeared on SideChef.

This recipe required a little prep, but it wasn’t too bad. The herb butter was definitely what made this meal, but it’s also SO pretty to look at! Perfect if you’re trying to incorporate more veggies. The original called for green beans but I’m not a huge fan so I swapped them for asparagus.
