Sheet pan meals are simple enough to make, especially during a busy week. All you have to do is throw together a few ingredients and you got yourself a nice meal that requires minimal cleanup. One of the easier meals to cook on a sheet pan involves baking fish.

This sheet pan recipe stars salmon, which is considered a very healthy fish. This pink fish is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential fats needed for many bodily functions. Their health benefits can range from decreasing the effects of inflammation to even improving the function of your arteries.

Topping this salmon recipe off is a wonderful ginger and soy-based glaze to enhance the flavor and nutrient content of the fish. Ginger has been used for centuries as a medicinal herb, on top of its use as a staple in various cuisines across Asia. It is known to contain potent anti-inflammatory properties, all thanks to its active compound called gingerol.
