Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin on or off depending on preference
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw honey preferred)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Juice of half a lemon (optional but recommended)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes

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 small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, and lemon juice until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, toss broccoli florets, red bell pepper slices, zucchini, and red onion wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the vegetables on one side of the baking sheet, spreading them out to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Pat dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Brush the honey garlic glaze generously over the salmon fillets, allowing some glaze to drip onto the veggies for extra flavor.
  7. Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender-crisp with caramelized edges. If vegetables need more time, remove salmon early and roast veggies for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Optional: For a crispier top, broil for the last 2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  10. Serve immediately, spooning any pan juices over the salmon.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to ensure better caramelization. Use wild-caught salmon for best texture and flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming the vegetables. For a crispier top, broil for 2 minutes at the end. Vegetables can be swapped based on preference or season. Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently in the oven at 300°F for 10-12 minutes. Avoid microwaving to prevent rubbery texture.
