A quick and easy one-pan meal featuring moist, flaky salmon glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, roasted alongside tender vegetables. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each)
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup baby carrots or sliced regular carrots
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons honey (local raw honey preferred)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for drizzling veggies)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, and grated ginger (if using). Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, toss zucchini, bell pepper, carrots, and red onion with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add about 2 tablespoons of the honey garlic glaze and toss until well coated.
  4. Arrange the vegetables evenly on a lined baking sheet, leaving space for the salmon.
  5. Place salmon fillets skin-side down next to the vegetables. Brush each fillet generously with the remaining honey garlic glaze. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily, and vegetables are tender with caramelized edges. If vegetables need more time, roast an additional 5 minutes after removing salmon.
  7. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes to crisp the salmon glaze, watching closely to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions before serving.

Notes

Use skin-on salmon to keep fish moist and crisp the skin. Fresh garlic is essential for best flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure vegetables roast properly. Check salmon doneness at 15 minutes to avoid overcooking. The honey garlic glaze can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the fridge. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Maple syrup can replace honey for a paleo-friendly version. Broiling at the end crisps the glaze but watch carefully to prevent burning.
