Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup baby potatoes, halved (about 150 g)
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed (about 125 g)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. On a sheet pan, toss halved baby potatoes, green beans, and sliced red bell pepper with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried herbs if using. Spread in an even layer and roast for 15 minutes.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Remove the sheet pan from the oven after 15 minutes. Push the roasted vegetables to the sides, creating space in the center.
  6. Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the center of the sheet pan. Brush tops generously with the honey mustard glaze, coating edges.
  7. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily and has a golden, crispy glaze. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  8. Optional: Broil salmon for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crispness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry to ensure crispy skin. Watch broil step carefully to avoid burning the glaze. Rest salmon after cooking to keep it juicy. Use parchment paper or silicone baking mat for easier cleanup. Rotate pan halfway through cooking if oven has hot spots.
