Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), fresh or thawed
- 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or local)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of half a lemon
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 1 cup snap peas
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley or dill for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on one side of the sheet pan.
- Place salmon fillets skin side down on the other side of the pan. Brush each fillet generously with the honey mustard glaze, coating sides as well. Reserve some glaze for later.
- Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and glaze is caramelized, and vegetables are tender with crispy edges.
- Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra caramelization, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven, brush remaining glaze over salmon and veggies, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.
Notes
Let salmon sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure veggies roast instead of steam. Apply a thin, even layer of glaze to prevent burning. Use a meat thermometer to check salmon doneness (125°F / 52°C for medium-rare). If veggies cook faster, start roasting them 5 minutes before adding salmon. Broil only briefly for caramelization to avoid burning.
