Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or skinless as preferred
  • 2 tablespoons honey (local or wildflower preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (e.g., Grey Poupon)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 fresh garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 bunch radishes (about 12-15), trimmed and halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin for flavor)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse and trim the radishes, cutting them in half lengthwise. Toss them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs if using. Spread them out on one side of a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  4. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Place the fillets skin-side down on the other half of the baking sheet. Using a pastry brush or spoon, coat each fillet evenly with the honey Dijon glaze.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 12-15 minutes, depending on fillet thickness, until salmon flakes easily and glaze is glossy and caramelized. Radishes should be tender with golden edges.
  6. Check doneness with an instant-read thermometer; salmon should reach 145°F (63°C).
  7. Serve immediately, spooning any extra glaze or pan juices over the salmon and radishes. Garnish with fresh lemon or herbs if desired.

Notes

For extra crispy radishes, roast them alone for 5 minutes before adding salmon. Rest salmon for a couple of minutes after roasting for juicier bites. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even roasting and caramelization. You can prepare the glaze a day ahead and store in the fridge.
