Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or skinless depending on preference
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw local honey recommended)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 cup baby carrots or sliced large carrots
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs or herbes de Provence
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Set your oven rack in the middle position.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, red bell pepper, carrots, and red onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on your sheet pan, leaving space for the salmon.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon olive oil until smooth.
  4. Arrange the salmon fillets on the sheet pan, skin-side down if applicable. Spoon the honey garlic glaze generously over each fillet, distributing the garlic evenly.
  5. Roast everything in the oven for about 15-18 minutes until vegetables are tender and caramelized and salmon flakes easily with a fork. Start checking at 15 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  6. Optional: For extra caramelization, switch oven to broil on high for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the vegetables. Use skin-on salmon for better moisture and crispiness. Let salmon sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before cooking. Stir vegetables halfway through roasting for even browning. Use an instant-read thermometer to check salmon is done at 145°F (63°C). Drain excess liquid if vegetables release too much water during roasting. Rest salmon after cooking to let juices redistribute.
