A quick and healthy sheet pan dinner featuring salmon glazed with a sticky honey garlic sauce and roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or off depending on preference
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound (450 g) broccoli florets, trimmed
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh lemon wedges (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil (if using).
  3. Toss broccoli florets, bell pepper strips, and carrot slices with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet, leaving space for the salmon.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down on the baking sheet next to the veggies.
  5. Brush or spoon the honey garlic glaze generously over the salmon and lightly over the veggies.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily and veggies are tender with crispy edges. For extra caramelization, broil for 1-2 minutes watching closely.
  7. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon over the salmon and veggies.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Watch glaze carefully during broiling to prevent burning. Pat salmon dry before glazing for a sticky finish. Thinner fillets should be placed on cooler side of pan to avoid overcooking. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Veggie swaps like asparagus or green beans work well. Add chili flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
