# Sheet-Pan Honey Garlic Salmon

*Recipe by [@weeknightwins](https://save.cooking/@weeknightwins)*

A fast, family-friendly sheet-pan dinner with tender salmon, crisp-tender broccoli, and a sticky-sweet honey garlic glaze—all done in about 30 minutes with minimal cleanup.

This is the kind of dinner that saves a weeknight when everyone’s hungry and you don’t want a sink full of dishes. Everything cooks on one pan, the sauce stirs together in a minute, and the flavors feel a little special without any fuss. If your crew is iffy about fish, the honey-garlic glaze is the gentle “gateway” that usually wins them over.

**Total Time:** 28 minutes | **Prep:** 10 minutes | **Cook:** 18 minutes | **Servings:** 4

## Ingredients

### Salmon & Vegetables

- 4 salmon fillets (about 5–6 oz each), skin-on or skinless
- 4 cups broccoli florets (about 1 large head)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray or a little extra oil for the pan (optional)

### Honey Garlic Glaze

- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (or rice vinegar)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for balance)
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (optional)
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

### To Finish (Optional)

- 1–2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Lemon wedges, for serving

## Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with foil or parchment for easy cleanup (optional) and lightly coat with cooking spray or a drizzle of oil.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon (if using), sesame oil (if using), and red pepper flakes (if using).

3. Add broccoli to the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat and spread into an even layer.

4. Roast broccoli for 8 minutes to give it a head start.

5. Push broccoli to one side. Place salmon fillets on the other side, skin-side down if using skin-on. Lightly season the salmon with a pinch of salt and pepper.

6. Spoon or brush about half of the honey garlic glaze over the salmon (save the rest for finishing).

7. Return the pan to the oven and roast 8–10 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily and reaches your preferred doneness (about 125–130°F for medium, 140–145°F for well-done).

8. For extra gloss, spoon the remaining glaze over the salmon right before serving (or warm it for 15–20 seconds in the microwave if you’d like it more pourable).

9. Top with sesame seeds and green onions if using, and serve with lemon wedges. Great with rice, noodles, or a quick bagged salad.
