What type of salmon is best for sheet pan roasting?

Fresh Atlantic or Pacific salmon works perfectly. Look for thick, evenly sized fillets so they cook at the same rate as the vegetables.

Can I use different vegetables for this sheet pan salmon?

Absolutely. Broccoli florets, green beans, or zucchini slices make excellent substitutes for asparagus. Just ensure they are cut to similar sizes for even roasting.

How do I know when the salmon is fully cooked?

The salmon is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F or when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
