A quick and healthy sheet pan dinner featuring salmon glazed with honey mustard and roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on if possible
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin recommended
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to reach temperature for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the honey mustard glaze. Set aside.
  3. Place the cubed sweet potatoes, chopped bell pepper, red onion wedges, and green beans in a large bowl. Drizzle with about 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss well to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the vegetables in an even layer on a rimmed sheet pan, leaving space in the center for the salmon.
  5. Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the center of the pan. Spoon the honey mustard glaze evenly over each piece.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, depending on fillet thickness, until salmon flakes easily and vegetables are tender with browned edges.
  7. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for a caramelized glaze finish, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature salmon for even cooking. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming vegetables. Adjust glaze sweetness by adding more honey or mustard to taste. Watch broiler carefully if using for glaze finish. Toss vegetables halfway through roasting for more even browning if desired. For vegan adaptation, substitute salmon with plant-based alternative and honey with maple syrup.
