Description
A healthy and delicious sheet pan dinner featuring salmon and fresh vegetables with a sweet and tangy maple Dijon glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each, about 1-inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for vegetables)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for glaze)
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 bunch asparagus spears (trimmed)
- 1 mix of colorful bell peppers (red, yellow, orange, cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (preferably Grade A or B)
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- Sea salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the broccoli florets, trimmed asparagus spears, bell pepper pieces, and sliced red onion in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss until evenly coated. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
- Whisk together the pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper until well combined in a small bowl.
- Pat each salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and arrange them on the other half of the baking sheet alongside the vegetables.
- Brush about two-thirds of the maple Dijon glaze over the top of each salmon fillet, reserving the remaining glaze for later. Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon and desired tenderness of the vegetables. Optionally, turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes for added browning.
- Brush the salmon with the remaining maple Dijon glaze once cooked and let the dish rest for a minute or two before serving.
Notes
Cut the vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking. Substitute with vegetables like green beans or zucchini as desired. Adjust the glaze ingredients to taste.
