Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon fillets very dry with paper towels and place them on a plate.
- In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and brown sugar.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets and gently rub it in.
- Add the broccoli florets, bell pepper slices, and red onion slices to the prepared sheet pan.
- Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper and toss to coat.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the pan, leaving spaces to nestle the salmon.
- Nestle the seasoned salmon fillets on top of the vegetables, skin side down if using skin-on fillets.
- Brush the tops of the salmon with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork but is still slightly glossy in the center and the vegetables are tender.
- If you want a more golden top, switch the oven to broil and broil the salmon and vegetables for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely.
- While the salmon bakes, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, honey, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and immediately spoon the lemon Dijon sauce over the salmon and vegetables.
- Let everything rest on the pan for 3 minutes, then serve directly from the pan or transfer to plates.
Notes
- Use previously frozen salmon that is fully thawed and patted very dry for the best texture.
- Cut vegetables into similar size pieces so they roast evenly under the salmon.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in a 300°F oven until just warmed through to avoid drying out the salmon.
