Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss 4 cups broccoli florets with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, spreading evenly.
  2. Step 2: Roast broccoli in the oven for 10 minutes until starting to caramelize.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, whisk together 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and optional 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes to make the glaze.
  4. Step 4: Remove baking sheet from oven and push broccoli to the edges. Place 4 salmon fillets (skin side down) in the center, then brush each fillet generously with the honey-lime glaze.
  5. Step 5: Return the pan to the oven and roast everything together for an additional 12-15 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and broccoli is tender and browned on edges.

How do I store leftover Sheet Pan Honey-Lime Salmon with Roasted Broccoli?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep (6 oz each) salmon fillets from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Sheet Pan Honey-Lime Salmon with Roasted Broccoli?

How do I scale Sheet Pan Honey-Lime Salmon with Roasted Broccoli for a different number of people?
