A quick and healthy sheet pan dinner featuring salmon glazed with a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce, roasted alongside baby potatoes and fresh vegetables for a balanced meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin on or off per preference
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 pound (450 g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 cup (150 g) green beans, trimmed
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 small red onion, sliced into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (to toss vegetables)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder (or minced garlic), lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth and glossy.
  3. In a separate bowl, toss the baby potatoes, green beans, red bell pepper, and red onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper until nicely coated.
  4. Spread the veggies in a single layer on one side of the sheet pan, placing the potatoes closest to the heat source.
  5. Roast the vegetables for about 15 minutes to give the potatoes a head start.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and gently push the vegetables to one side. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the empty side of the pan.
  7. Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over each salmon fillet.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 10-12 minutes, depending on salmon thickness, until the salmon flakes easily and the glaze is slightly caramelized.
  9. Check the vegetables; if needed, toss and roast for 3-5 more minutes until tender and lightly browned.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature salmon for even cooking. Don’t overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. The glaze can be made a day ahead. Tent salmon with foil if glaze darkens too quickly. Line pan with parchment or foil for easy cleanup. Variations include adding cayenne for heat or swapping veggies seasonally.
