Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Marinade

  • 5 salmon fillets or 1 large fillet cut into 2-inch pieces (skin on recommended)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup stone ground mustard
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (may substitute with balsamic vinegar)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (Frank’s Buffalo Sauce recommended)

Vegetables

  • 1 pound baby Yukon gold potatoes (cut in half if larger than 1 inch)
  • 3 cups broccoli florets

Additional

  • 2 tablespoons reserved honey mustard marinade (for vegetables)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them flesh side up in a dish that fits them snugly together.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large sheet pan with sides (around 15×21 inches) with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray for easy cleanup.
  3. Make Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, stone ground mustard, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, lemon zest, salt, smoked paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, onion powder, dried thyme, and hot sauce. Remove 2 tablespoons of this marinade to reserve for the vegetables.
  4. Marinate Salmon: Pour the remaining marinade evenly over the salmon fillets, brushing the sides to coat thoroughly. Let the fish marinate at room temperature for about 30-40 minutes while you prepare the vegetables. Avoid marinating for longer to prevent the fish from becoming mushy.
  5. Prepare Potatoes: Add the baby Yukon gold potatoes to the prepared sheet pan. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of the reserved marinade, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Spread the potatoes evenly across one side of the pan.
  6. Bake Potatoes: Place the pan in the oven and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
  7. Prepare Vegetables: After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and push the potatoes to one side. Add the broccoli florets to the pan and toss them with 1 tablespoon reserved marinade and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
  8. Arrange Salmon and Vegetables: Spread the broccoli florets evenly on the side opposite the potatoes, making space in the center of the pan for the salmon. Place the marinated salmon fillets flesh side up in the center of the pan.
  9. Bake Salmon and Vegetables: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 12-16 minutes, or until the salmon registers 125-130 degrees Fahrenheit at the thickest part using an instant-read thermometer, and flakes easily with a fork.
  10. Rest and Garnish: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the salmon to rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and season with freshly cracked salt and pepper to taste. Always taste before adjusting seasoning.

Notes

  • Marinating at room temperature for 30-40 minutes enhances flavor without compromising fish texture.
  • Do not marinate salmon longer than recommended to avoid mushiness.
  • Use an instant-read thermometer to check salmon doneness for perfectly cooked fish.
  • Skin-on salmon is recommended to help keep the fish moist during baking.
  • Adjust hot sauce quantity to taste depending on your preferred spice level.
  • For easier cleanup, line the baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
