A quick and healthy sheet pan salmon recipe glazed with a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce, roasted alongside fresh vegetables for a flavorful and easy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw honey preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup baby carrots (or sliced regular carrots)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced into wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet (about 18×13 inches) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth and glossy.
  3. Place baby carrots, broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange the vegetables evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out to avoid steaming.
  5. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on top of the vegetables or on empty spots on the baking sheet. Pat salmon dry with paper towels.
  6. Brush the salmon generously with the honey mustard glaze, coating tops and sides. Reserve some glaze for basting halfway through cooking.
  7. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes depending on fillet thickness. At about 8 minutes, baste salmon with reserved glaze and gently toss the vegetables for even cooking.
  8. Check for doneness: salmon should flake easily and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C); vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Optionally, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to help the glaze stick and avoid steaming. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure vegetables roast properly. Use room temperature salmon for even cooking. Basting halfway through cooking enhances flavor and moisture. Adjust honey and mustard ratio to balance sweetness and tanginess. For thinner fillets, reduce cooking time; for thicker, add 2-3 minutes. Watch vegetables to prevent burning.
