Why You’ll Love this Baked Honey Glazed Salmon Recipe

• Quick and Easy. Everyone needs those fast suppers that come together with a handful of pantry staples and about 10 minutes of prep. Perfect for busy weeknights!
• One Tray. Since the fish and veggies cook on a single pan, you have fewer dishes to wash at the end.
• Healthy. This dinner is made with nourishing, easy-to-find, fresh ingredients that you can pick up in almost any grocery store. The fish is a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, while the broccoli provides fiber and a wealth of nutrients.
• Family-Friendly. The simple, familiar flavors of honey, soy sauce, and garlic appeal to even the pickiest little eaters. You can even keep a piece of salmon plain (with just olive oil, salt, and pepper) if there’s someone at the table who doesn’t want the glaze. It’s a customizable meal that works well for the whole family.

Recipe Variations

• Instead of the broccoli, sub with other vegetables such as sliced zucchini, sliced bell peppers, asparagus, or green beans. Larger vegetables like carrots, Brussels sprouts, or potatoes will need a longer roasting time, so you’ll want to give them a head start in the oven by at least 15 minutes.
• Toss the broccoli with melted butter rather than olive oil.
• Add extra herbs or spices to the vegetables and/or to the glaze. For instance, make it spicy by sprinkling some crushed red pepper flakes onto the fish; add a bit of onion powder to the glaze; sprinkle in some grated fresh orange zest; add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, lime juice, or orange juice; make it zippy with ground ginger or grated fresh ginger; or try some chives, parsley, or thyme.
• Substitute maple syrup for the honey.
• Cooking Just for Two? Cut the recipe in half and bake according to the recipe instructions. For a larger family, add extra salmon filets and extra broccoli to the tray.

Tips for the Best Honey Glazed Salmon recipe

• If you’re starting with frozen salmon instead of fresh salmon, let the salmon thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using in this recipe.
• Use an extra-large rimmed baking sheet (or two separate smaller baking sheets) so that you have plenty of space for all of your ingredients to spread out. This helps the salmon and veggies cook faster, brown, and crisp in the oven.
• Spray the aluminum foil lined baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan.
• Use fresh broccoli (not frozen broccoli). Frozen broccoli will release a lot of liquid on the pan, which will prevent it from becoming charred and crisp.
• Place the tray under the broiler during the final 1-2 minutes so that the fish gets that flavorful, crispy, caramelized exterior. If you choose to do this, just make sure that you keep a close eye on the pan the entire time — the food can burn fast!
• You’ll know the salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork. If you’re using an instant read thermometer, the USDA recommends a minimum internal temperature of 145°F, which should be measured at the thickest part of the fillet.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 12 ounces fresh broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 ¼ – 1 ½ lb. salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions
• ¼ cup honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• Optional, for serving: sliced green onions; cooked rice

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the broccoli on the prepared pan, drizzle with the olive oil, and toss to coat. Season with about ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and some ground black pepper to taste.
  
• Push the broccoli to the sides of the pan and arrange the salmon (skin-side down) in the center. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Brush the glaze on top of each piece of salmon. Reserve the extra glaze, if desired.
  
• Bake until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 14-15 minutes. For a crispier finish, place the pan under the broiler for the final 1-2 minutes of cooking (just keep an eye on it closely so that it doesn’t burn).
• This step is optional, if you'd like to serve the salmon with the extra glaze: While the salmon is in the oven, simmer the remaining glaze in a small saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop (or in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave) for 1-2 minutes, until the glaze thickens slightly.
• Serve salmon and broccoli over rice, drizzle or brush with remaining glaze, and garnish with sliced green onions.
