A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy honey mustard glazed salmon with roasted veggies, perfect for weeknight meals and picky eaters.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on for crispiness
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or local preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (smooth)
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 small head of broccoli, cut into florets (can swap with green beans or asparagus)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to season veggies

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to taste.
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place skin-side down on one side of the baking sheet and brush generously with the honey mustard glaze on top and sides. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, toss broccoli florets, red bell pepper strips, red onion wedges, and minced garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread veggies in a single layer on the other side of the baking sheet.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and veggies are tender but crisp.
  6. Switch oven to broil and broil for 2–3 minutes until salmon skin is crispy and glaze is caramelized, and veggies have slight char. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Remove from oven and let salmon rest for 1–2 minutes. Spoon any pan juices over the salmon before serving.
