A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy skin salmon glazed with teriyaki sauce and roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 oz / 170 g each)
  • Teriyaki sauce (about 1/4 cup / 60 ml)
  • Olive oil (2 tbsp / 30 ml)
  • Broccoli florets (2 cups / 150 g)
  • Red bell pepper (1 medium, sliced)
  • Carrot (1 large, sliced thin)
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • Fresh ginger (1 tsp, grated)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, 1 tbsp)
  • Green onions (2 stalks, sliced thin)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and carrot slices. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
  3. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan, leaving space between pieces.
  4. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet with about 1 tablespoon olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet pan next to the vegetables, leaving space for even roasting.
  6. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the teriyaki sauce over the top of each salmon fillet, avoiding heavy coating on the skin side.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily, and skin is crisp and golden brown. Vegetables should be tender with caramelized edges.
  8. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes if salmon skin needs extra crispiness, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the salmon and vegetables before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon skin dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Avoid brushing too much teriyaki sauce on the skin side to prevent sogginess. If vegetables cook faster, remove them halfway and let salmon finish roasting. Use a hot oven for best caramelization. Reheat leftovers in a skillet or oven to maintain crispy skin; avoid microwaving.
