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

Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces (170 grams) each
  • Broccoli florets, fresh, about 2 cups (150 grams)
  • Baby carrots, about 1 cup (120 grams), peeled if needed
  • Red bell pepper, 1 medium, sliced into strips
  • Teriyaki sauce, approximately 1/3 cup (80 ml)
  • Olive oil, 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
  • Garlic, 2 cloves, minced
  • Fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon, grated (optional)
  • Sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon, toasted for garnish
  • Green onions, 2 stalks, thinly sliced for garnish
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss broccoli florets, baby carrots, and red bell pepper strips with 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast the vegetables for 10 minutes to give them a head start.
  4. While vegetables roast, pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. In a small bowl, combine teriyaki sauce with grated fresh ginger if using.
  6. After 10 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Push vegetables to one side and place salmon fillets skin-side down on the empty side.
  7. Brush salmon generously with teriyaki glaze, reserving some for halfway through cooking.
  8. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily. Halfway through, brush salmon again with remaining glaze.
  9. Optional: For extra crispy skin, broil for the last 2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest a few minutes. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon skin dry before cooking to ensure crispiness. Use a large sheet pan to avoid overcrowding. Brush salmon with teriyaki glaze twice for a sticky, flavorful coating. Tent vegetables with foil if browning too fast. Broil at the end for extra crispy skin but watch carefully to prevent burning. Leftovers keep well for up to 2 days; reheat gently to maintain crispiness.
