Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (thyme or parsley) for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet (about 12×17 inches) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until smooth. If honey is thick, warm it slightly for 10 seconds to ease mixing.
  3. Place zucchini slices, red bell pepper pieces, onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the vegetables out on the lined baking sheet in an even layer, leaving space in the center for the salmon.
  5. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Place them skin-side down in the center of the baking sheet.
  6. Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
  7. Tuck thin lemon slices around the vegetables and on top of the salmon.
  8. Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily, and vegetables are tender with caramelized edges.
  9. Optional: For extra crisp skin, broil the salmon for the last 2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes.
  11. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to ensure crispy skin. Cut vegetables into similar sizes for even roasting. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Stir vegetables halfway through roasting for better browning. Watch broiler closely if using to crisp skin. Let salmon rest after roasting to lock in juices. Can swap vegetables seasonally or add smoked paprika for a smoky flavor. Store leftovers separately and reheat gently to avoid drying out.
