Ingredients
Scale
Honey Mustard Sauce
- ¼ cup pure honey
- 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Zest of 1 lemon (1-2 teaspoons), plus lemon wedges for serving
- 1 large or 2 small garlic cloves, finely minced (2 teaspoons)
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon fine salt, more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Main Ingredients
- 4 salmon filets, about 1 inch thick (4-5 oz each)
- Cooking spray
- 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets (4-5 cups)
- 1 lb small red or yellow potatoes, cut in half if large
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F to prepare for roasting the salmon and vegetables.
- Make Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, whole grain mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Taste the sauce and adjust salt if necessary. Reserve 3 tablespoons of this sauce for the potatoes.
- Marinate Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow bowl and pour the remaining honey mustard sauce over them. Use a spatula or brush to coat each fillet evenly on all sides. Set aside to marinate briefly.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Generously coat a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Potatoes: Place the potatoes on the baking sheet and toss with the reserved 3 tablespoons of honey mustard sauce until fully coated. Spread the potatoes cut-side down in an even layer. Bake for 15 minutes to start cooking.
- Add Broccoli and Oil: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side so they take up about one-third of the pan. Add broccoli florets to the opposite side. Drizzle the remaining ½ tablespoon of olive oil over the broccoli and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle broccoli with a pinch of salt.
- Add Salmon and Roast: Place the salmon fillets in the middle section of the baking sheet between the potatoes and broccoli. Return the sheet to the oven and roast everything until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 8-13 minutes depending on thickness, and vegetables are tender.
- Serve: Plate the salmon with potatoes and broccoli. Serve with fresh lemon wedges for added brightness.
