A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy skin teriyaki salmon and roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • ⅓ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets or snap peas
  • 1 cup baby carrots or sliced bell peppers
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
  • Sliced green onions for garnish
  • Lime wedges (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes if using.
  3. In a larger bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on one side of a non-stick or parchment-lined sheet pan.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Place salmon skin-side down on the other side of the sheet pan, leaving space for heat circulation.
  6. Brush salmon generously with about half of the teriyaki glaze, reserving the rest.
  7. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until veggies are tender and salmon is cooked through but moist.
  8. Switch oven to broil. Brush remaining glaze over salmon and broil about 6 inches from heat for 2-3 minutes until glaze caramelizes and skin crisps. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and garnish with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and lime wedges if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat salmon skin dry before cooking to ensure crispiness. Apply most of the glaze at the end during broiling to prevent soggy skin. Use a non-stick sheet pan or parchment paper for easier cleanup and better crisping. Watch broiler closely as glaze can burn quickly. Leftovers reheat best in oven or skillet to maintain crisp skin.
