A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring honey garlic glazed salmon with roasted zucchini and cherry tomatoes, perfect for a wholesome weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Four 6-ounce skin-on salmon fillets (wild-caught preferred)
  • Two medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch half-moons
  • One pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes if using until smooth and shiny.
  4. Slice zucchinis into 1/4-inch half-moons and halve cherry tomatoes. Toss them gently with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread evenly on the lined baking sheet.
  5. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the baking sheet next to the vegetables.
  6. Brush or spoon the honey garlic glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender but still slightly firm.
  8. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra caramelization, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes, then serve with the roasted vegetables and a squeeze of fresh lemon.

Notes

Pat salmon dry to help glaze stick and caramelize. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even roasting. Let salmon rest before serving. The glaze can be made up to two days ahead and stored in the fridge. For gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce. For a spicy kick, add sriracha or extra red pepper flakes. Broil briefly at the end for extra caramelization if desired.
