Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, olive oil, and lemon juice. Set aside.

3. Arrange the Salmon & Veggies

• Place salmon fillets on one side of the sheet pan.
• Toss the broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Spread them on the other side of the pan.

4. Brush & Bake

• Brush the honey garlic glaze generously over the salmon.
• Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky and the veggies are tender.
• For an extra caramelized finish, broil for the last 2 minutes.

5. Serve & Enjoy!

Plate your salmon with a generous serving of veggies. Drizzle any extra glaze over the top. Serve with rice, quinoa, or a side salad for a complete meal!

Pro Tips for the Best Sheet Pan Salmon

✔ Don’t overbake! Salmon cooks quickly—check for flakiness at 15 minutes.
✔ Swap the veggies! Use what you have—asparagus, carrots, Brussels sprouts, or green beans all work.
✔ Double the sauce! It’s so good, you might want extra for drizzling over rice.
✔ Make it spicy! Add a little Sriracha or chili flakes to the glaze for a kick.
