A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring honey mustard glazed salmon and fresh spring vegetables, perfect for a fuss-free, flavorful weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170g each), skin-on or skinless depending on preference
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower honey works great)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 clove minced garlic)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (to coat the vegetables)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme or dill sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the glaze.
  3. In a large bowl, toss asparagus, sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  5. Spread the vegetables evenly on the sheet pan, leaving space for the salmon fillets.
  6. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place skin-side down on the pan.
  7. Spoon the honey mustard glaze evenly over each salmon fillet.
  8. Roast in the oven for 12–15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily, and vegetables are tender but vibrant.
  9. Optional: Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra caramelization, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  10. Garnish with fresh thyme or dill sprigs and serve immediately.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing for better caramelization. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming vegetables. Broil at the end for 1-2 minutes for extra glaze caramelization but watch carefully to prevent burning. Leftovers can be reheated gently in a low oven wrapped in foil to keep salmon moist.
