Ingredients
  

For the Honey Mustard Sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1-2 teaspoons lemon zest from 1 lemon
  • 2 teaspoons garlic finely minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Salmon and Vegetables
  • 4 salmon filets about 1 inch thick (4-5 oz each)
  • cooking spray
  • 1 large head broccoli cut into florets (4-5 cups)
  • 1 lb small red or yellow potatoes cut in half if large
  • lemon wedges for serving

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Small bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Whisk
  • Spatula or marinade brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried thyme, fine salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Reserve 3 tablespoons of this sauce for the potatoes.
  3. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow bowl. Spoon the remaining honey mustard mixture over the salmon, coating all sides. Set aside.
  4. Generously mist a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet. Toss the potatoes with the reserved 3 tablespoons of honey mustard mixture until coated. Spread the potatoes in an even layer on the pan, cut-side down.
  5. Bake the potatoes for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan, so they occupy about one-third of the space.
  7. Add the broccoli florets to the other end of the pan, leaving space in the middle for the salmon. Drizzle the broccoli with the remaining ½ tablespoon of olive oil, toss to coat, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  8. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet between the potatoes and broccoli.
  9. Cook for another 8-13 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon.
  10. Serve the salmon, potatoes, and broccoli with lemon wedges.
