A quick and easy one-pan meal featuring flaky honey garlic salmon and perfectly roasted broccoli, ready in just 20 minutes. This recipe balances sweet and savory flavors with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on preferred (about 6 ounces or 170 grams each)
  • 3 cups broccoli florets (about 300 grams), trimmed into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling on broccoli
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
  3. Toss broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on one side of a rimmed baking sheet or large ovenproof skillet.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down on the other half of the pan.
  5. Generously brush the honey garlic sauce over the salmon fillets.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and broccoli is tender with crisp edges. Toss broccoli halfway through for even browning if desired.
  7. Optional: Spoon a bit more sauce over the salmon before serving for an extra glossy finish.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking to ensure crispiness. Use high heat (425°F) for perfect roasting. Brush sauce before and after roasting for best flavor and moisture. Avoid overcrowding broccoli to prevent steaming. Cover loosely with foil if garlic starts to brown too fast after 10 minutes.
