A quick and healthy sheet pan dinner featuring flaky salmon fillets and caramelized broccoli coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze, ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces (170g) each
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 300g)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down on one side of a rimmed 9×13-inch sheet pan.
  4. Toss broccoli florets with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the other side of the sheet pan in a single layer.
  5. Generously coat the salmon fillets with the honey garlic sauce using a brush or spoon. Drizzle or toss the broccoli with the remaining sauce, reserving some for basting.
  6. Roast on the middle rack for 12–15 minutes. At about 10 minutes, baste salmon and broccoli with any leftover sauce.
  7. Check for doneness: salmon should flake easily with a fork and broccoli should be tender with caramelized edges. Optionally broil for 1–2 minutes for extra crispness, watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven, optionally squeeze more fresh lemon juice on top, and serve immediately.

Notes

If salmon fillets are thicker than 1 inch, add 3–5 minutes to roasting time and watch closely to avoid overcooking. Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free soy sauce alternative. Avoid overcrowding broccoli to ensure crisp edges. Basting mid-roast keeps salmon moist and flavorful. Leftovers keep well for 1-2 days refrigerated and reheat gently to maintain moisture.
