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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces each
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small red onion, sliced thin
  • Fresh herbs (optional): chopped parsley or dill for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly runny.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly.
  4. Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
  5. In a bowl, toss zucchini, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the veggies around the salmon on the sheet pan in a single layer.
  6. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Halfway through (about 7 minutes), gently flip the veggies using tongs or a spatula to ensure even roasting, being careful not to disturb the salmon glaze.
  7. Check for doneness: salmon should flake easily with a fork and have a glossy, caramelized crust; veggies should be tender with slightly charred edges.
  8. Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs over the salmon and veggies before serving. Optionally, squeeze extra lemon juice on top.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to ensure crispiness. Roast at high heat (425°F) to caramelize glaze without burning. Flip veggies halfway through roasting for even cooking. Tent salmon with foil if glaze browns too quickly near the end. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming and sogginess. Reheat leftovers in oven at 375°F for 8-10 minutes to restore texture; avoid microwaving.
