Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on or off, fresh or thawed
- 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth and glossy.
- Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets and spread evenly on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
- Arrange salmon fillets skin-side down next to the broccoli on the baking sheet. Pat salmon dry with paper towels before placing.
- Brush the tops of the salmon fillets generously with the honey mustard glaze. Optionally drizzle some glaze over the broccoli.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and broccoli is tender with crispy edges. Check around 12 minutes to avoid overcooking thin fillets.
- Remove from oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over salmon and broccoli.
- Serve immediately while salmon is juicy and broccoli has a slight crunch.
Notes
Pat salmon dry before glazing to help sauce stick and prevent watery steaming. Cut broccoli into even-sized florets for uniform cooking. Start checking salmon at 15 minutes to avoid overbaking. You can swap broccoli for asparagus, green beans, or Brussels sprouts. For a dairy-free glaze, ensure honey is pure and avoid butter. Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated; reheat gently in oven to avoid drying.
