Ingredients
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Roasted Veggies
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and black pepper to create the flavorful maple glaze.
- Toss and roast vegetables: In a larger bowl, toss the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and red bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread the vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes to start softening them.
- Add salmon and glaze: After 15 minutes, carefully push the roasted vegetables to the sides of the baking sheet. Place the salmon fillets in the center, then generously brush them with the prepared maple glaze for a rich, savory-sweet coating.
- Finish baking: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the maple glazed salmon fillets alongside the perfectly roasted vegetables for a balanced and delicious meal.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking salmon to keep it moist and tender.
- Feel free to swap out vegetables based on what you have on hand, such as zucchini or asparagus.
- Make sure to line the pan well with parchment paper to prevent the sweet glaze from sticking and burning.
