A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring tender honey-garlic glazed salmon and crispy roasted broccoli, perfect for busy weeknights or casual entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), skin-on or skinless, fresh or thawed
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (approximately 300 g), trimmed and washed
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or pure)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, optional pinch
  • Salt, to taste (sea salt or kosher salt preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
  3. Toss broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the other side of the baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the honey-garlic sauce, reserving some for basting. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until broccoli is tender with crispy edges and salmon flakes easily with a fork. Halfway through cooking, spoon reserved glaze over the salmon.
  6. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra caramelization, watching closely to avoid burning.
  7. Remove from oven and let salmon rest a few minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to help the sauce stick and improve roasting texture. Keep broccoli florets uniform in size for even cooking. If broccoli browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through roasting. Adjust cooking time for thicker salmon fillets. Use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free soy sauce alternatives. Maple syrup or agave nectar can substitute honey.
