Description
A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring salmon glazed with a sticky maple Dijon sauce and roasted alongside vegetables. Ready in about 30 minutes with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170g each), skin-on or skinless
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) real maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., 1 medium sweet potato diced, 1 cup green beans, 1 large red bell pepper sliced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and half the smoked paprika. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, leaving space for the salmon.
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, remaining smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the glaze.
- Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush or spoon the glaze generously over the top of each fillet.
- Place salmon skin-side down on the sheet pan next to the veggies.
- Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes until salmon is cooked through but still moist and veggies are tender and caramelized. Start checking at 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped fresh thyme or rosemary over salmon and veggies.
- Serve immediately with optional sides like a green salad or garlic bread.
Notes
Pat salmon dry before glazing for better caramelization. Use real maple syrup, not pancake syrup, for best flavor. Cut sweet potatoes smaller than other veggies to ensure even cooking. Check salmon at 15 minutes to avoid overcooking. Line baking sheet with foil or parchment for easier cleanup. Double the glaze for leftovers.
