A quick and easy recipe featuring crispy honey mustard glazed salmon paired with caramelized roasted vegetables, perfect for a cozy and impressive weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on for best crispiness
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for roasting veggies)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into thick half-moons
  • 1 small red onion, quartered
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the carrot sticks, red pepper, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Roast the vegetables in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, smoked paprika (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
  5. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down. Press down gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to keep the skin flat.
  7. Cook the salmon skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the fillets carefully and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Lower the heat to medium-low, brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the cooked side of the salmon, and cook for another minute or so, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly but not burn.
  9. Serve the crispy honey mustard salmon alongside the roasted vegetables. Spoon any remaining glaze over the top.

Notes

Pat salmon dry thoroughly for crispy skin. Preheat pan well before searing. Press salmon down gently when placing skin-side down to avoid curling. Add honey mustard glaze in the last minute of cooking to prevent burning. If glaze thickens, add a splash of water to loosen. Do not overcrowd pan when searing; cook in batches if needed.
