A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring crispy honey mustard glazed salmon with perfectly roasted vegetables, ideal for a healthy and satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces / 170 grams each), skin-on, preferably wild-caught
  • 1 pound (450 g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 8 ounces (225 g) green beans, trimmed
  • 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) honey (raw or organic preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil, extra virgin
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (thyme or parsley), optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and glossy.
  3. Toss halved baby potatoes and trimmed green beans with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the sheet pan, leaving space in the center for the salmon.
  4. Roast the potatoes and green beans for 15 minutes.
  5. Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels and lightly season with salt and pepper.
  6. Brush the salmon generously with the honey mustard glaze on all sides.
  7. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the center, around the vegetables. Scatter halved cherry tomatoes over the veggies and drizzle with a little olive oil.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and roast everything for another 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender but still have a bit of bite.
  9. Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh thyme or parsley over the dish before serving.
  10. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before seasoning to ensure crispy skin. Do not overcrowd the pan to allow proper roasting. If potatoes are not tender after cooking, return to oven for a few minutes while salmon rests. For extra crispy skin, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch carefully to avoid burning. Vegetable swaps like asparagus, bell peppers, or Brussels sprouts work well. For a paleo version, substitute honey with maple syrup. Adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne to the glaze adds a smoky or spicy kick.
