Honey Garlic Salmon {Easy Sheet Pan Dinner}
This Delicious 30 minute Honey Garlic Salmon with vegetables is as easy as it gets! Healthy baked salmon with a honey garlic sauce and roasted vegetables cook together on one pan!
Salmon is one of my favorite sheet pan dinners. It cooks quickly and goes well with fresh or roasted vegetables. This salmon recipe is a complete meal, with protein, vegetable, and starch, so you don’t have to think about preparing other side dishes. Once you pop the pan in the oven, you are free to clean up your kitchen or sit down with a glass of wine… whatever makes you happy.
Honey Garlic Sauce for Salmon
Sauce Ingredients (Printable Recipe):
- Honey
- Olive oil
- Soy sauce
- Dijon mustard
- Garlic
- Salt & Pepper
While the oven preheats combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well. I love honey garlic sauces and if you do too try my honey garlic pork chops and honey garlic chicken breasts.
Sheet Pan Salmon Preparation
Once preheated, place your vegetables tossed with olive oil salt and pepper on a lined baking sheet. Lining the baking sheet with foil or parchment paper is key here so you’re not left scrubbing your pan clean at the end of the night.
Move the vegetables to the sides to make room for the salmon. Place salmon on the baking sheet and spoon on the honey garlic sauce. Bake at 400 degrees. Salmon is fully cooked when baked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit or 63 degrees Celcius. The salmon should cook in the oven 9-15 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets. I use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature.
One of my favorite things about this sheet pan salmon and potatoes is that it’s endlessly customizable. You can switch out the veggies based on what’s in season and what you have on hand. Zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus, sweet potatoes, carrots, your personal favorite vegetable… the choice is yours. Try with my roasted broccoli, roasted zucchini or roasted green beans.
If you love baked salmon as much as I do, here is another of my favorite salmon recipes. The glaze is irresistible! You might also enjoy my grilled salmon recipe.

I’m overwhelmed thinking about the endless amount of holiday stuff I need to do, and gifts…well that’s the hardest part! We eat salmon regularly here and this meal is definitely one I can put in the rotation. I love the sound of the honey garlic!
Gifts ARE the hardest part! Give me a tree to decorate and cookies to bake, though, and I’m a happy girl!

This meal looks wonderful! Salmon and roasted vegetables is one of my favourite things, and this one is quick and easy too!
Thank you, Stacey! Aren’t roasted vegetables the best?
Oh man I wish I had this recipe on Monday. I literally had 4 salmon filets and had no idea what to do with them. This meal looks like the perfect busy night meal. I’m making this next week for sure. PS love the easy clean up too. Score!
Oooh, I hate it when that happens! Next time!
I love this season too but It really can be so busy! I always try to convince my husband that we should do christmas gifts but he just loves presents, haha! I’ve been trying to eat more salmon lately and this looks so easy and delicious!
My husband and I don’t do many gifts for each other anymore- I guess that’s what happens once you have kids. 🙂 Let’s hope we can all get the shopping done early this year!
Oh I love one pan dinners that are super easy! Love that you made it with salmon! My fav!

This looks amazing, Kristine! Love the honey garlic flavours and really love the fact that it cooks up on one pan!
Thank you, Denise! The one pan clean up is the best!!
I get so excited around the holidays even though it’s such a busy time. I always have such a hard time with choosing the right gift too. This salmon dinner would make our meals so much easier though. Love the honey garlic and that it’s made all in one sheet pan! 🙂
Thank you, Kelly! I’m feeling ready for all of the fun that the holiday season brings!
This looks SO GOOD! We have salmon a lot, but I get tired of my go to recipes sometimes, I can’t wait to try this! It is so easy I bet even my husband could do it! 😉
Thank you, Annie! I bet he could. 🙂
I’m always saying I need to prepare salmon more often at home, and this recipe will be on my menu for sure! Love love how quick and easy it is!
Thank you, Alyssa! This one is going into our regular rotation!
This was delicious! We had to cook it an extra 5 minutes to get it up to 145• but between prep, cooking, and clean up it was just over about 30 min! Thanks so much for a last minute, quick and healthy meal 🙂
Just made this on 9/24/19 and thought it was odd to only cook the potatoes for 15 minutes at 400…. I just tried them and they are definitely more rigid than they should be inside. Typical diced potatoes go for 45 minutes at 400.
This recipe calls for cutting the potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces, which is a very small dice. 1/2-inch cubes of potatoes will be cooked but somewhat firm after 15 minutes in the oven. For softer potatoes, add them to the pan before the salmon to get a head start cooking. I just made a note about this in the recipe.
