Bake the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes. It should flake easily with a fork when done. If you prefer a crispier top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes. Always check for doneness. Using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). This ensures your salmon is safe to eat and still juicy. When choosing veggies, pick those that roast well. Broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini are great choices. They hold up well in the oven and absorb flavors nicely. You can also try carrots, cauliflower, or asparagus for variety. Cut them into similar sizes to ensure even cooking. Toss them with olive oil and seasoning for the best results. The honey soy marinade adds a sweet and salty flavor. You can mix it up too! Try adding lime juice or chili flakes for a kick. For a fresher taste, use fresh herbs like basil or cilantro. Let your salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes to soak in the flavors. The longer, the better! Just don’t marinate too long, or the fish may become mushy. {{image_4}} If you want to switch up the protein, chicken works great. Use chicken thighs or breasts. You can also try shrimp for a quick cook time. Tofu is a fantastic choice for a plant-based meal. Just marinate it the same way as the salmon. You can mix and match veggies for fun. Carrots add nice color and crunch. Snap peas bring sweetness and a fresh bite. Feel free to use asparagus or green beans too. Just make sure to cut them into similar sizes for even cooking. To boost flavor, add some chili flakes for heat. A splash of lime juice brightens the dish. You can also switch honey for maple syrup for a different taste. For a more savory twist, try adding miso paste to your marinade. Each change gives you a new dish to enjoy! To store leftovers, let the dish cool first.

Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds

1 cup broccoli florets

Salt and pepper to taste

Sesame seeds for garnish

Chopped fresh cilantro or sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). To facilitate easy cleaning later, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, low sodium soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until the mixture is well blended and smooth.

      Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the fillets, making sure they are evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes, while reserving the remaining marinade for later use.

        Prep the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini rounds, and broccoli florets. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the veggies along with the remaining marinade. Season generously with salt and pepper, then toss until all the vegetables are well coated.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Transfer the marinated salmon fillets to the center of the prepared baking sheet. Surround the salmon with the seasoned vegetables, creating a colorful arrangement.

            Bake in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.

              Add Final Touches: During the last 5 minutes of baking, drizzle the reserved marinade over both the salmon and vegetables to enhance the richness of the flavors.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the sheet from the oven. Garnish the dish generously with sesame seeds and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or sliced green onions before serving.
