As many families look to simplify making dinner, making meals in a slow cooker isn’t the only way to do that. Enter Oven to Table: Over 100 One-pot and One-pan Recipes For Your Sheet Pan, Skillet, Dutch Oven, and More by Jan Scott. This cookbook is full of recipes that are easy to make and don’t require a sink full of dishes to wash after dinner.
I tried Brown Sugar & Chili-Rubbed Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner and it was just as easy and delicious as the recipe promised. I didn’t have cayenne but I would definitely add next time to kick the heat up a smidgeon. Technically, adding the avocado cream sauce makes this a two dish meal, but it was worth it for the fresh contrast to balance out the rest of the meal.
