Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1/2, juiced lemon
- 1 lb, peeled and sliced 1/2-inch thick carrots
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 lb sliced carrots and 2 cups broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 18 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 3 tbsp honey, and 1/2 lemon juiced. Pat salmon fillets dry and season with remaining salt and pepper.
- Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon skin-side down and sear for 3 minutes until golden, then flip and spoon 1 tbsp honey-mustard mixture over each fillet.
- Step 4: Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Baste with remaining sauce halfway through cooking.
- Step 5: Plate roasted vegetables, top with salmon, and drizzle with any pan sauce. Garnish with extra lemon wedges and minced garlic for serving.
