Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin-on or skinless)

Vegetables

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 12 oz green beans, trimmed

Glaze

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided: 1 tbsp for veggies, 1 tbsp for glaze)
  • 1 tsp salt (divided: ½ tsp for veggies, ½ tsp for glaze)
  • ½ tsp black pepper (divided: ¼ tsp for veggies, ¼ tsp for glaze)

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped fresh parsley or dill

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prep the sheet pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Prep and roast the veggies: On the lined sheet pan, toss the halved baby potatoes and trimmed green beans with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Spread them out evenly in a single layer and roast for 10 minutes at 400°F to start cooking the vegetables.
  3. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to create a sweet and tangy glaze that will coat the salmon beautifully.
  4. Add salmon and glaze: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and push the roasted veggies to the edges. Place the salmon fillets in the center and evenly spoon the prepared glaze over each fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
  5. Roast everything together: Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender and golden brown.
  6. Serve it up: Remove the pan from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley or dill if desired, then serve immediately for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the salmon to keep it juicy; stick to 12–15 minutes of roasting after glazing.
  • Avoid crowding the sheet pan to ensure vegetables roast instead of steam.
  • Use parchment paper on the sheet pan to make clean-up easier and to prevent sticking.
  • Trim green beans properly to eliminate tough ends that can be chewy.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently or enjoyed cold in salads.
  • You can substitute broccoli, asparagus, or Brussels sprouts for green beans.
  • Honey can replace maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
  • Try grainy brown mustard in place of Dijon mustard for texture variation.
  • Sweet potatoes can be used instead of baby potatoes for a twist.
  • Adding red onion slices can enhance the flavor.
