A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy honey garlic glazed salmon with roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 oz / 170 g each), wild-caught recommended
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or organic preferred)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (about 180 g)
  • 1 cup baby carrots (about 120 g)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and olive oil until smooth and combined.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  4. Spread broccoli florets, baby carrots, and sliced red bell pepper evenly on the sheet pan. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
  5. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on one side of the sheet pan, next to the veggies without overlapping.
  6. Brush the honey garlic glaze generously over the salmon fillets and vegetables, reserving a little glaze for basting later.
  7. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness (about 1-inch thick fillets), until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Optional: Switch the oven to broil for 2-3 minutes to crisp the salmon skin and caramelize the glaze. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top if desired before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before seasoning to ensure crispy skin. Use low-sodium soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free option. Broil at the end for 2-3 minutes to get a crispy, caramelized glaze but watch closely to prevent burning. You can swap vegetables seasonally or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat. Leftovers can be reheated gently in a skillet to revive crispiness.
