Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 Salmon Fillets
Starches:
- 1 lb Baby Potatoes
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh Herbs
- Vegetables
Instructions
- Crank your oven to 400°F and grab a large sheet pan for the upcoming culinary adventure.
- Slice 1 lb baby potatoes in half and toss them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes across one side of the sheet pan, creating a single layer that allows each potato to crisp beautifully.
- Mix 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper in a small mixing bowl until smooth and glossy.
- Pat your 2 salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them next to the potatoes on the sheet pan.
- Generously brush each salmon fillet with the honey mustard mixture, ensuring complete coverage for maximum flavor absorption.
- Slide the sheet pan into the preheated 400°F oven and roast for exactly 15-18 minutes, checking that salmon reaches 145°F internal temperature.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2-3 minutes to seal in those delicious juices.
- Sprinkle some fresh chopped dill or parsley over the dish for a vibrant finishing touch before serving.
Notes
- Toss the baby potatoes with oil right before spreading them on the sheet pan to ensure they crisp up nicely and don’t get soggy.
- Check salmon doneness by gently pressing the center – it should flake easily and look opaque throughout without being dry.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular Dijon mustard for a certified gluten-free mustard to keep the dish safe for sensitive diets.
- Customize the honey mustard sauce by adding fresh herbs like dill or chives directly into the mixture for extra brightness and flavor.
