Equipment
- 2 baking sheets
- aluminum foil
- small bowl
- whisk
- paper towels
- meat thermometer (optional)
Ingredients
For the Honey Mustard Baked Salmon:
- 1 side of sockeye salmon (about 1.4 lbs)
- ¼ cup whole grain mustard
- 3 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp paprika
For the Sheet Pan Meal:
- 24 oz baby potatoes quartered
- 12 oz broccolini (or broccoli)
- avocado oil
- kosher salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F. Add quartered baby potatoes to one of the baking sheets, drizzle with avocado oil and season with salt & pepper. Toss to coat and then spread out evenly on the baking sheet so that there's no overlap. Transfer to the oven to bake for 25 minutes.24 oz baby potatoes, avocado oil, kosher salt & black pepper
- While the potatoes are in the oven, trim off the ends of each piece of broccolini and if any of them are super thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Add broccolini to the second baking sheet, drizzle with a bit of avocado oil and season with salt & pepper. Toss to coat and then spread out evenly. Once there are 15 minutes left on the potato timer, place the baking sheet with broccolini into the oven.12 oz broccolini, avocado oil, kosher salt & black pepper
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, honey, avocado oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt & pepper. Then, rip off a large piece of aluminum foil (enough to fully wrap around the salmon), and place the side of salmon on top. Pat salmon dry with a paper towel, and then pour most of the honey mustard sauce on top. I like to reserve some of it for garnish, later on. Wrap aluminum foil around the salmon so that it's completely closed.¼ cup whole grain mustard, 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp avocado oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 3 garlic cloves, ½ tsp kosher salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, ¼ tsp paprika, 1 side of sockeye salmon
- When there are 10 minutes left on the potato timer, add the foil packet of salmon to the sheet pan with the broccolini on it, and return to the oven to bake for 10 more minutes or until the salmon is done to your preference. Wild sockeye salmon is thinner and cooks quicker than farmed salmon!
- Remove both sheet pans from the oven. Cut salmon into 5 even pieces, and plate alongside some roasted broccolini and baby potatoes. Pour extra honey mustard sauce on top of the salmon. Enjoy!
