A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring honey garlic glazed salmon roasted alongside caramelized vegetables, perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets (about 6 ounces / 170 grams each, skin-on for crispiness)
  • Honey (3 tablespoons)
  • Garlic cloves (3 large, minced)
  • Soy sauce (2 tablespoons, low sodium preferred)
  • Lemon juice (1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Broccoli florets (2 cups / 150 grams)
  • Baby carrots (1 cup / 130 grams)
  • Red bell pepper (1 medium, sliced)
  • Red onion (1 small, sliced into wedges)
  • Cherry tomatoes (1 cup / 150 grams, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Allow about 10 minutes for the oven to fully heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons olive oil until smooth and slightly runny but sticky. Warm honey gently if too thick.
  3. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  4. Spread out broccoli florets, baby carrots, sliced red bell pepper, red onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly and spread out to roast, not steam.
  5. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on one side of the sheet pan, ensuring pieces are not crowded.
  6. Brush the honey garlic glaze generously over the salmon and optionally over the vegetables for a hint of sweetness.
  7. Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes. Check after 15 minutes; salmon should be opaque and flake easily, vegetables tender and caramelized. For thicker vegetables, give them a 5-minute head start before adding salmon.
  8. Optional: Broil for 2 minutes to caramelize the glaze, watching closely to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  10. Serve immediately, plating salmon alongside roasted vegetables and spooning any pan juices or extra glaze over the top.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming the vegetables. Use skin-on salmon for crispiness. Mix honey with soy sauce and lemon juice to reduce burning risk. Watch glaze closely during broiling or skip broiling if unsure. Rest salmon after roasting for juiciness. For gluten-free, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce. Frozen salmon can be used but requires longer cooking time.
