Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
  • 4 cups broccoli florets, trimmed into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Toss broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on one side of the baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the glaze.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Arrange salmon skin-side down on the empty half of the baking sheet. Brush the top generously with the honey mustard glaze, saving some for later.
  6. Press down gently on the salmon skin with a spatula or fingers to ensure it lies flat for crispiness.
  7. Roast salmon and broccoli together for 12-15 minutes, or until broccoli is tender and salmon flakes easily with a fork. Halfway through, brush salmon with remaining glaze.
  8. Optional: Broil for the last 2 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry thoroughly for best crispy skin. Do not move salmon while cooking to develop crust. Pre-roast broccoli to ensure even cooking. Brush glaze multiple times for sticky, flavorful coating. Watch broiler closely if using for crispiness. Leftovers can be reheated in oven at 350°F for 8 minutes to preserve texture.
