Print Recipe

A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring flaky honey garlic glazed salmon and crispy roasted broccoli, perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces / 170 grams each), skin-on or skinless
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (about 300 grams), fresh and trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or pure)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse and pat dry 4 cups of broccoli florets. Toss them in 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet, leaving space for the salmon.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if using.
  4. Pat dry the 4 salmon fillets with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the sheet pan next to the broccoli. Brush each fillet generously with the honey garlic glaze, coating the top and sides.
  5. Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven. Roast for about 12-15 minutes, depending on salmon thickness, until broccoli is tender with crispy edges and salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Optional: Switch oven to broil for the last 2 minutes for extra caramelization, watching closely to avoid burning.
  7. Remove from oven, let rest for a minute, then plate the salmon and broccoli. Spoon any pan juices over the top for extra flavor.

Notes

Use fresh broccoli for best crispness; frozen broccoli will not crisp well. Pat salmon dry before glazing to help caramelization. Let salmon sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking for even doneness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent soggy vegetables. Optional broil step adds extra glaze caramelization but watch garlic to prevent burning. For leftovers, store salmon and broccoli separately and reheat gently to maintain texture.
