A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring tender salmon glazed with a sticky-sweet honey garlic sauce, roasted alongside fresh vegetables for a healthy and flavorful dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces / 170 grams each), skin-on or off
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (about 150 grams)
  • 1 cup baby carrots (about 120 grams)
  • 1 cup snap peas (about 100 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or local)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Freshly cracked ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional garnishes: sesame seeds or chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Wash and trim broccoli florets, peel and slice baby carrots, and snap the ends off snap peas. Toss them lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the veggies in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  5. Place the salmon fillets on top of the veggies, skin-side down if applicable. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the salmon and veggies, coating well.
  7. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and veggies are tender-crisp.
  8. Optional: Broil for the last 2 minutes for a caramelized finish, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 3 minutes.
  10. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions before serving, if desired.

Notes

If veggies might overcook before salmon is done, roast them 5 minutes ahead and add salmon later. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Let salmon rest after roasting to keep it juicy. Parchment paper or silicone mat helps prevent sticking and eases cleanup. For gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Optional spicy twist: add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
