Ingredients for Salmon and Veggies Sheet Pan
- Salmon fillets: I use 6 oz pieces. You can choose to keep the skin or remove it.
- Broccoli, red and yellow bell peppers: Slice the bell peppers to even thickness for even cooking.
- Russet potato: Scrub and dry the potatoes. Cut them into ½ inch cubes. I like to keep the peel on.
- Olive oil, salt, and pepper: Seasoning for the veggies. The olive oil helps them caramelize.
- Honey, garlic, soy sauce: The base of the glaze for the salmon. Gives both the sweet and the savory, with the depth of umami flavor as well.
- Lemon juice and black pepper: The acid needed to brighten up the glaze.
- For garnish: Lemon slices and fresh parsley.
How to Make Sheet Pat Honey Garlic Salmon
Step 1: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, toss the broccoli, bell peppers and potatoes in oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly across the sheet pan.
Step 2: Add the salmon fillets to the sheet pan. Nestle them between the veggies, leaving enough room between each fillet.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk the honey, garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and black pepper together. Brush half of this glaze over the salmon and the vegetables.
Step 4: Roast in a preheated 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily and the veggies are tender.
Step 5: Drizzle the remaining glaze over everything, garnish with fresh lemon slices and chopped parsley, and enjoy!
Eat it as is, or serve it over rice and make a dairy-free version of a salmon bowl!
Recipe Tips for Baked Honey Garlic Salmon
- Extra caramelization. Place it under the broiler for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispy edges.
- Do not overcrowd the pan. It’s important to keep everything in a single layer, leaving enough room for everything to roast evenly.
- Is the pan too small? Consider using two pans.
- Cut veggies evenly. Ensuring everything is similar size means you won’t end up with some overcooked and some underdone.
- Different cooking times. One pan doesn’t always mean cooking at the same time. If you are only using larger, chunkier root veggies, you may want to add the salmon about 8 minutes into the cook time.
Recipe FAQs
It will flake easily, and will have just turned opaque. Anything more than that and you risk overcooking and drying it out.
You can. Make sure to thaw completely first and then pat them dry. You don’t want to add any excess moisture to the pan.
Absolutely! Clear out your fridge. Try it with cauliflower, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, onions, carrots, or zucchini instead.
Sprinkle some red pepper flakes into the glaze or use a bit of sweet chili sauce. If you’re interested in making a breaded version, you could copy my roasted salmon with broccoli and potatoes recipe. To make it dairy free, omit the butter!
Certainly. The only thing that would need changing is the soy sauce. Use gluten-free tamari or coconut aminos instead!
