Print Recipe

A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring salmon fillets glazed with a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce, roasted alongside crisp-tender green beans. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces / 170 grams each)
  • 12 ounces (340 grams) fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  3. Trim the green beans by snapping off the tough ends. Rinse and pat dry.
  4. Arrange the green beans on one side of the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side of the pan, leaving space between each fillet.
  6. Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet. Optionally, drizzle some glaze over the green beans for extra sweetness.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the green beans are tender-crisp with slight browning.
  8. Optional: For a caramelized finish, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon for squeezing over the top.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to help the honey mustard stick and create a nice crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure green beans roast instead of steam. If green beans take longer to cook, roast them for 5 minutes before adding salmon. Watch salmon closely near the end to avoid overcooking; aim for an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare. Leftovers keep well for up to 2 days and reheat best gently in oven or stovetop.
