Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin on or off based on preference
  • 3 tablespoons honey (local or wildflower honey works great for richer flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 cup snap peas or green beans, trimmed
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnishes: toasted sesame seeds, chopped scallions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and grated ginger (if using). Set aside.
  3. Toss the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, snap peas, and red onion wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space for the salmon.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down if the skin is on, spacing them evenly on the sheet pan.
  5. Brush the honey garlic glaze generously over each salmon fillet. Optionally, toss a little glaze on the veggies for extra flavor.
  6. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on salmon thickness, until salmon flakes easily and glaze is caramelized.
  7. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for a crispier top, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute and glaze to set.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds or chopped scallions if desired.

Notes

If salmon fillets are thinner than average, reduce roasting time to avoid drying out. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting and caramelization. Fresh garlic is preferred for best flavor. Let salmon rest after roasting for juiciness. Use a kitchen thermometer for perfect doneness: 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for more cooked. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Optional broil step adds crispiness but watch carefully to prevent burning.
