A fast and easy 15-minute sheet pan dinner featuring flaky salmon glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, paired with tender-crisp green beans and cherry tomatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170g each)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or local preferred)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 12 oz green beans, trimmed (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet (about 9×13 inches) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Add red pepper flakes if using.
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down on one side of the baking sheet.
  4. Toss green beans and cherry tomatoes in the remaining sauce in the bowl until evenly coated. Spread them out on the other side of the baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Brush salmon fillets generously with the honey garlic sauce, letting some drip onto the veggies. Optionally marinate salmon in sauce for 10 minutes before baking.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and veggies are tender-crisp. Watch tomatoes to ensure they blister but do not burn.
  7. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra caramelization, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Serve immediately, spooning any extra sauce from the pan over the salmon and veggies.

Notes

Pat salmon dry to help glaze stick and keep fish moist. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup. Spread veggies out to roast rather than steam. Broil carefully to avoid burning honey. Marinate salmon for 10 minutes for stronger flavor but it’s optional. Adjust baking time for thicker fillets. Can swap green beans for asparagus, broccoli, zucchini, or cauliflower. Use tamari for gluten-free. Maple syrup can replace honey but flavor differs.
