When do you need an easy dinner recipe like Pesto Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner? When life feels like a really bad word problem:
The little guy had individual school pictures on Monday and his class picture on Tuesday.
The big guy had Spirit Week at school, and had to wear yellow on Monday, brown on Tuesday, blue on Wednesday, and green on Friday. Also consider that he has gym on Tuesday, art on Wednesday, and was going to work with daddy for Take Your Child to Work on Thursday.
After school, the little guy had teeball practice on Monday and a game on Wednesday, and the big guy had Cub Scouts on Wednesday and baseball practice on Friday.
It was going to be cool and rainy on Monday and Tuesday, cloudy on Wednesday, and warm and sunny on Friday.
Solve for X, where X = what clothes my children are going to wear.
These are the weeks I need a meal like this…
Easy prep, fast cooking time, and only one pan to clean up makes Pesto Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner with potatoes and green beans the solution to all of your busy day dinner problems.
While the oven preheats, you wash and cut the potatoes, then toss them in some pesto. Pop them in the oven for ten minutes, and during this time, wash and snap the green beans (or buy them already snapped to save even more time). Pull the pan out of the oven, toss on the green beans with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then it’s back into the oven for ten minutes. During this time you can even put the pesto in a bowl for topping the fish and get the table set, because a little help from Gorton’s makes this sheet pan meal even easier…
The first thing that might come to mind when you think of the Gorton’s Fisherman might be their Delicious Classics line, including Popcorn Shrimp or the ever-popular Fish Sticks like I used in these Chili Lime Fish Stick Tacos. However, Gorton’s has plenty of other options to make it fast and easy to serve the wholesome goodness of seafood to your family. I have a gluten allergy, so I love knowing that Gorton’s has plenty of products that are gluten free. That means no going to special grocery stores or having to search for what I want in certain sections of the store, or preparing something different for myself than I prepare for the rest of the family. And no paying higher prices for a specialty gluten free product. You’ll find these grilled and baked options, some simply seasoned and others saucy, right in the freezer aisle alongside the Gorton’s Delicious Classics. And when you pair the salmon, cod, tilapia, and more with other simple ingredients, you get easy, nutritious meals that are naturally gluten free and don’t require special ingredients or preparations.
Check out the full line of Gorton’s products, including grilled, gourmet, and saucy varieties, in addition to the classics and gluten free products, to make weeknight seafood meals totally do-able. Then follow @GortonsSeafood on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and YouTube for more ideas and inspiration.

Their Roasted Garlic and Herb Grilled Cod would be delicious with an Italian Style Wedge Salad. Serve Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi atop Browned Butter Cauliflower Rice. Or for a gluten free option, swap out the fish sticks in these Chili Lime Fish Stick Tacos with Signature Grilled Tilapia.
And if you love this recipe, here are some others you’ll enjoy. Huevos Rancheros Sheet Pan Nachos from Melanie Makes are a fun fusion of two favorites. Creamy Pesto Pasta from She Wears Many Hats looks divine, and you can even add some Gorton’s shrimp or fish. And if you are in a poultry mood with your beans and potatoes, try this Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner from The Little Kitchen.
