Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin on or off depending on preference
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or local honey recommended for best flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (e.g., Grey Poupon)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed
  • 1 cup baby carrots, peeled
  • 1 small red onion, sliced into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh herbs like dill or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Rinse and trim asparagus, snap peas, and baby carrots. Slice the red onion into wedges. Toss all vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the coated vegetables evenly on the baking sheet, leaving space in the center for the salmon.
  5. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place salmon skin-side down (if skin-on) in the center of the baking sheet.
  6. Brush the honey Dijon glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
  7. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily and vegetables are tender-crisp. Optionally broil for 1-2 minutes for extra caramelization.
  8. Check salmon internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  9. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing for better glaze adherence and crispiness. Brush glaze twice for extra flavor. Watch broiler closely if using for caramelization. Use a thermometer to ensure salmon is cooked to 145°F (63°C).
