Ingredients
  

For the Salmon and Sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1-2 teaspoons lemon zest from 1 lemon, cut lemon into wedges for serving
  • 2 teaspoons garlic finely minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon fine salt more to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 filets salmon about 1 inch thick (4-5 oz each)
For the Potatoes and Broccoli
  • 1 large head broccoli cut into florets (4-5 cups)
  • 1 lb small red or yellow potatoes cut in half if large
  • cooking spray

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Small bowl
  • Baking sheet pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Set aside 3 tablespoons of this sauce for the potatoes.
  3. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow bowl. Spoon the remaining honey mustard mixture over the salmon, coating all sides. Set aside.
  4. Generously mist a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet. Toss the potatoes with the reserved 3 tablespoons of honey mustard mixture until well coated. Spread the potatoes in an even layer, cut-side down.
  5. Bake the potatoes for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan, using about one-third of the space.
  7. Add the broccoli florets to the other side of the pan, leaving space in the middle for the salmon.
  8. Drizzle the broccoli with the remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  9. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet between the potatoes and broccoli. Return the pan to the oven and cook for another 8-13 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  10. Serve the salmon, potatoes, and broccoli with lemon wedges.

Notes

This meal is designed for efficiency. You can prep the sauce and chop the vegetables ahead of time to make weeknight assembly even faster. The salmon cooks quickly, making this a perfect option for busy evenings.
