Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe featuring wild-caught salmon fillets glazed with a sweet and tangy balsamic reduction, served alongside perfectly roasted baby potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 oz / 170 g each)
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar (120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (450 g)
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes, carrot sticks, and sliced bell peppers with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Roast the vegetables for about 20 minutes.
  4. While the vegetables roast, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Let it reduce until thickened and glossy, about 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
  5. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. After the vegetables have roasted for 20 minutes, make space on the baking sheet and place the salmon fillets skin-side down.
  7. Brush each fillet generously with the balsamic glaze, reserving some for serving.
  8. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast everything together for another 12-15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  9. Remove from oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes.
  10. Drizzle with any remaining glaze and a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired. Serve the roasted vegetables alongside.

Notes

Watch the balsamic glaze closely while simmering to avoid burning. If vegetables brown too quickly, tent the baking sheet with foil. For crispier salmon skin, sear skin-side down in a hot pan for 2 minutes before roasting. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days and taste better after flavors meld overnight.
