Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or skinless
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • Olive oil (for drizzling on vegetables)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth and glossy. Set aside.
  3. Wash and trim snap peas and baby carrots. Slice the red bell pepper into strips. Spread the vegetables evenly on one half of the sheet pan. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper.
  4. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the other half of the sheet pan. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  5. Brush the honey teriyaki sauce generously over the salmon fillets. Reserve some sauce to brush halfway through cooking if desired.
  6. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender but crisp. For a caramelized finish, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over salmon and vegetables.
  8. Serve immediately with any extra pan juices spooned on top.

Notes

If salmon fillets are thicker than 1 inch, add 2-3 extra minutes to cooking time. Marinate salmon in the honey teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before cooking to boost flavor. Use tamari instead of soy sauce for gluten-free option. Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for a caramelized glaze but watch closely to avoid burning. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently in oven at 325°F for 10 minutes.
