A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring caramelized honey mustard glazed salmon with tender asparagus and crispy roasted baby potatoes, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (Yukon gold or red)
  • 1 bunch asparagus (12 oz), trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Halve the baby potatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and freshly cracked pepper. Toss well to coat.
  3. Spread the potatoes evenly on a rimmed sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes, tossing once halfway through to ensure even browning.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and chopped thyme or rosemary if using. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. While potatoes roast, trim the tough ends off the asparagus and pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
  6. After 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side. Arrange the asparagus on the pan and drizzle with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  7. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down next to the asparagus and potatoes.
  8. Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the salmon and drizzle any remaining glaze over the asparagus and potatoes.
  9. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for another 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender but bright green.
  10. If you want crispier potatoes, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  11. Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes.
  12. Serve warm, spooning any pan juices over the salmon and vegetables.

Notes

Dry the salmon before glazing to help the glaze stick and caramelize. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Toss potatoes halfway through roasting for even browning. Adjust roasting time for thinner asparagus stalks or thicker salmon fillets. Broil briefly for crispier potatoes if desired.
