Sheet Pan Teriyaki Salmon with Roasted Vegetables

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), skin on
• 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
• 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling veggies)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the teriyaki glaze.
3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on one side of the baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with about half of the teriyaki glaze.
4. On the other side of the baking sheet, spread the broccoli florets, red bell pepper strips, snap peas, and carrot slices. Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
5. Roast everything together in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes, brush the salmon again with the remaining teriyaki glaze and roast an additional 8 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle salmon and veggies with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
7. Serve immediately, spooning pan juices over all for extra flavor.

Chef tips

• If you don’t have snap peas, substitute with green beans or asparagus for a similar crunch.
• To avoid overcooking salmon, consider using an instant-read thermometer; salmon is done at 145°F (63°C) internal temperature.
• For a gluten-free version, substitute regular soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
• Feel free to swap carrots for sweet potatoes cut into small cubes if you prefer a heartier vegetable.
