Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 medium, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds carrots
- 2 medium, sliced into 1/4-inch half-moons zucchini
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp honey
- 4 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Toss 3 sliced carrots and 2 sliced zucchinis with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread in a single layer on one side of the sheet pan.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp olive oil to make the glaze.
- Step 3: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side of the sheet pan. Brush each fillet generously with half of the honey-garlic glaze, reserving the rest for later.
- Step 4: Roast in the oven for 12 minutes. Remove the pan, brush salmon again with the remaining glaze, and roast an additional 3-4 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Step 5: Remove from oven, sprinkle the vegetables with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and serve the salmon fillets alongside the roasted carrots and zucchini.
