A quick, healthy, and delicious sheet pan dinner featuring salmon glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, roasted alongside fresh vegetables for a fuss-free meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or off depending on preference
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw, unfiltered preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free option
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (about 90 g)
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup baby carrots or regular carrots sliced diagonally
  • Optional: 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  3. Place bell pepper strips, broccoli florets, red onion wedges, baby carrots, and zucchini slices (if using) in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange the veggies on a parchment-lined sheet pan in a single layer, leaving space for the salmon.
  5. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet pan next to the veggies. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Brush or spoon the honey garlic glaze generously over each salmon fillet.
  7. Roast everything in the oven for 15-18 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), and veggies are tender and caramelized.
  8. Optional: Broil for the last 2 minutes for extra crispness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes.
  10. Serve hot, spooning any remaining glaze from the pan over the salmon and veggies.

Notes

Use fresh garlic and ginger for best flavor. Avoid overbaking salmon to keep it tender and flaky. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting. Glaze caramelizes best when applied before roasting. For soy-free option, use coconut aminos. For vegan glaze, substitute honey with maple syrup. Vegetables can be swapped seasonally. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently in oven to maintain texture.
