A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring salmon fillets glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, roasted alongside fresh vegetables for a healthy and flavorful weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 ounces / 170 grams each)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw, local honey)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 pound broccoli florets or asparagus, trimmed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down on a lined baking sheet.
  4. Arrange the vegetables around the salmon on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Spoon the honey garlic sauce evenly over the salmon fillets and vegetables, spreading gently to coat.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Optional: Broil for 1–2 minutes for a caramelized glaze finish, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.

Notes

[‘Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure vegetables roast instead of steam.’, ‘Use room temperature salmon for even cooking and to prevent drying out.’, ‘Watch the oven temperature closely to avoid burning the honey glaze.’, ‘If vegetables cook faster than salmon, chop them larger or add them later.’, ‘Pat salmon dry before glazing to help the sauce stick and caramelize.’, ‘The honey garlic sauce can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the fridge.’, ‘Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days and freeze up to 3 months.’]
