Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss mixed vegetables with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes until tender-crisp.
  2. Step 2: Whisk honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl to create a glaze.
  3. Step 3: Pat salmon dry, season both sides with salt and pepper, then heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes until skin is crispy and golden.
  4. Step 4: Flip salmon, spoon half the glaze over the top, then transfer skillet to oven. Bake for 6-8 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and flesh flakes easily.
  5. Step 5: Remove salmon from skillet, brush with remaining glaze, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with roasted vegetables.

How do I store leftover Johnson's Honey Glazed Salmon?
