Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces / 170g each), fresh or thawed frozen, skin-on or skinless
- 3 tablespoons (45ml) pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons (30g) Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- 4 cups (about 600g) mixed vegetables (broccoli florets, sliced carrots, red bell peppers; or sweet potatoes, green beans)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet (18×13 inches) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until smooth and glossy.
- Chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the vegetables in an even layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side.
- Brush or drizzle the maple Dijon glaze generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring each piece is well coated. Pour any leftover glaze over the vegetables for extra flavor.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender with golden, slightly crispy edges. If the glaze starts to brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil or reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon wedges over the salmon and vegetables if desired. Serve directly from the sheet pan.
Notes
[‘Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the sticky maple glaze from caramelizing and sticking to the pan, making cleanup easier.’, ‘Bring salmon to room temperature 15 minutes before cooking for even roasting.’, ‘Cut vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking; cut denser vegetables smaller.’, ‘Watch the glaze during roasting to prevent burning; tent with foil or reduce oven temperature if needed.’, ‘Use fresh minced garlic for best flavor.’, ‘Salmon can be swapped with cod or chicken thighs, but adjust cooking times accordingly.’, ‘Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the vegetables.’, ‘Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water or olive oil.’]
