A quick and easy sheet pan meal featuring tender honey garlic glazed salmon and perfectly roasted vegetables, ideal for busy weeknights or casual hosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces (170 grams) each
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or local)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (about 150 grams)
  • 1 cup baby carrots (about 130 grams)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnishes: chopped parsley or green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Allow about 10 minutes for the oven to reach the right temperature.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and fresh lemon juice until smooth.
  3. Wash and cut broccoli into bite-size florets, slice zucchini into half-moons, slice red bell pepper, and have baby carrots ready.
  4. Toss the vegetables in olive oil, salt, and pepper either in the mixing bowl or directly on the sheet pan.
  5. Spread the vegetables evenly on a rimmed sheet pan, leaving space in the center or one side for the salmon to avoid crowding.
  6. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the sheet pan.
  7. Brush the honey garlic glaze generously over the salmon and drizzle some over the vegetables. Reserve a little glaze for basting halfway through cooking.
  8. Roast in the oven for 12 minutes. At the 6-minute mark, baste the salmon with the remaining glaze and gently toss the vegetables for even caramelization.
  9. Check for doneness: salmon should flake easily and be opaque throughout; vegetables should be tender with slightly crispy edges.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  11. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to ensure crispy skin. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Reserve some glaze for basting halfway through cooking to keep salmon moist and flavorful. Parboil thicker vegetables like whole carrots for 2-3 minutes if needed. Use tamari or coconut aminos as gluten-free soy sauce alternatives. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out the salmon.
