A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy salmon with a tangy honey mustard glaze and roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on for crispiness
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 cups green beans, trimmed
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for tossing veggies)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss baby potatoes, green beans, and sliced red bell pepper with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a rimmed sheet pan.
  3. Roast the vegetables for about 15 minutes to start cooking the potatoes.
  4. While the veggies roast, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard (if using), olive oil, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the glaze.
  5. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
  6. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and nestle the salmon fillets skin-side down among the veggies, leaving space between each piece.
  7. Brush the salmon generously with the honey mustard glaze on top and sides.
  8. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes until salmon is cooked through (internal temperature about 145°F/63°C) and skin is crispy. The veggies should be tender and lightly browned.
  9. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning the glaze.
  10. Serve immediately, spooning any pan juices over the salmon and vegetables.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before roasting for crispy skin. Keep oven temperature at 425°F for best results. Parboil potatoes for 5 minutes if they are large or dense to ensure even cooking. Let salmon rest 2-3 minutes after baking to lock in juices. For extra crispiness, broil 1-2 minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning glaze. Substitute honey with maple syrup for a dairy-free and honey-free option. Use similar-sized vegetables for even roasting.
