Description

This healthy and flavorful dinner features tender salmon fillets coated in a sweet and tangy glaze, paired with perfectly roasted seasonal vegetables. A balanced and satisfying meal that’s both nutritious and easy to prepare.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lb broccoli florets
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for vegetables)
  • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and garlic to make the glaze.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on one side of the baking sheet. Brush the glaze generously over the salmon.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss the broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread the vegetables on the other side of the baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and slightly crisp.
  7. Optional: broil for the last 2 minutes for caramelized glaze and extra roasted texture.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley or dill and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a refined sugar-free option.
  • Salmon is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Swap in seasonal vegetables like zucchini, asparagus, or sweet potatoes.
  • Leftovers make a great next-day lunch over salad or rice.
