Ingredients
- Salmon fillets
- Broccoli florets
- Bell peppers, sliced
- Carrots, sliced
- Soy sauce
- Honey
- Garlic, minced
- Ginger, grated
- Sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well combined. This will be your marinade for the salmon and vegetables.
- Place the salmon fillets on one side of the prepared sheet pan. Brush the fillets generously with half of the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
- In a separate bowl, combine the broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, and sliced carrots. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the vegetables and toss them until they are evenly coated.
- Arrange the coated vegetables on the other side of the sheet pan, spreading them out in a single layer to promote even cooking.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- For an extra touch, you can broil the sheet pan for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of the cooking time to give the salmon and vegetables a nice caramelized finish.
- Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Serve the salmon and vegetables warm, garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
Tips
- Choose fresh, high-quality salmon fillets with a vibrant color and firm texture for the best results.
- Don't overcrowd the sheet pan - give your vegetables and salmon enough space to ensure they roast, not steam.
- Use a meat thermometer to check salmon doneness: it should reach an internal temperature of 145°F for perfect, flaky fish.
- For extra flavor, marinate the salmon for 15-30 minutes before cooking if you have extra time.
- Pat your salmon and vegetables dry before adding marinade to help the sauce adhere better and promote caramelization.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes to your marinade.
- Let the sheet pan rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum moisture and flavor.
