Print Recipe

A quick and easy weeknight meal featuring salmon fillets roasted with a buttery honey garlic glaze and vegetables on a single sheet pan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), fresh or thawed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1 cup snap peas

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  3. Season the salmon fillets lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  4. Arrange the vegetables on a large rimmed sheet pan in a single layer.
  5. Drizzle half of the honey garlic butter sauce over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly.
  6. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet pan nestled among the vegetables.
  7. Brush the remaining sauce generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
  8. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until the fish flakes easily with a fork but remains moist.
  9. Optional: For a caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  10. Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Let salmon fillets sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before cooking for even cooking. Avoid overbaking to keep salmon moist. Pre-mincing garlic saves time. If veggies cook faster than salmon, push them aside halfway through cooking. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil or vegan margarine and soy sauce with coconut aminos. Broiling for last 2 minutes adds caramelization but watch closely to prevent burning.
