Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), fresh or thawed, skin on or off
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or organic)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (about 150 g)
  • 1 cup carrot slices (about 120 g)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
  3. Wash and chop broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Toss lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on one side of the sheet pan.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the other half of the sheet pan.
  5. Brush the honey garlic glaze generously over the salmon fillets.
  6. Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes until vegetables are tender and caramelized, and salmon is opaque and flaky.
  7. Switch oven to broil and broil salmon for 2 minutes to crisp the top and caramelize the glaze. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven and let salmon rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to help sauce stick and prevent sogginess. Cut vegetables into similar sizes for even roasting. Broil carefully and watch closely to avoid burning the glaze. For denser vegetables like potatoes, roast them alone for 10 minutes before adding salmon and softer veggies. Use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free version. Fresh lemon juice brightens the glaze flavor.
