Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Glaze
- 4 fresh skin-on salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Vegetables
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Prepare the Honey Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh lemon juice until fully combined. This glaze will infuse each salmon fillet with a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
- Preheat and Prep the Sheet Pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Arrange your trimmed vegetables evenly across the pan to roast alongside the salmon.
- Season and Glaze the Salmon: Place salmon fillets skin-side down onto the sheet pan among the vegetables. Season lightly with salt and pepper before brushing the honey mustard glaze generously over the top of each fillet.
- Roast Everything Together: Pop the sheet pan into the preheated oven and roast for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Final Touches and Serve: Once cooked, drizzle any remaining glaze or a squeeze of fresh lemon on top. Serve immediately while the salmon is juicy and the veggies are golden and crisp.
Notes
- Use fresh salmon fillets to ensure moist and flavorful results.
- Don’t overcrowd the sheet pan to allow even roasting and caramelization.
- Check salmon at around 12 minutes to avoid overcooking and dryness.
- For extra flavor depth, brush salmon with glaze a second time halfway through roasting.
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
