A quick and easy honey mustard glazed salmon paired with roasted spring vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights and beginners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin on or off depending on preference
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or organic preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 fresh garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Juice of half a lemon (optional)
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup baby carrots, peeled
  • 1 cup baby potatoes, halved (Yukon gold recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or fresh sprigs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss asparagus, baby carrots, and halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on one side of a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, lemon juice (if using), salt, and pepper to make the glaze.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place skin-side down on the empty side of the baking sheet.
  5. Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and vegetables are tender and caramelized. Add extra 2-3 minutes if fillets are thicker than 1 inch.
  7. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for a golden finish, watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Serve salmon alongside roasted vegetables with a squeeze of fresh lemon.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing for better adhesion and caramelization. Use a rimmed baking sheet to contain juices and prevent soggy skin. Watch broil step closely to avoid burning. Vegetables can be tossed halfway through roasting for even cooking. Substitute vegetables seasonally or based on availability.
