    Honey-Mustard Sheet Pan Salmon is the ultimate healthy weeknight dinner. Not only is prep incredibly easy, clean up is even easier! This salmon has a tangy and sweet sauce poured over top and baked until golden brown. Accompanying the salmon is roasted fingerling potatoes and crunchy roasted broccoli.

    How to make Honey-Mustard Sheet Pan Salmon:

    • The first step in making this salmon recipe is to wash and cut the fingerling potatoes. Then cut them in half, toss in some oil and lay cut side down on the sheet tray. These potatoes will be baked until half way cooked, about 20 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, the broccoli is chopped and also tossed in oil. The sauce for the salmon which is composed of stone ground mustard, honey and garlic powder is mixed together.
    • Once the potatoes are half way cooked, the broccoli is spread out into an even layer on the sheet tray along with the salmon. The honey-mustard sauce is poured over top and then a sprinkle of paprika. The whole meal will bake in the oven for another 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

    What type of salmon to use:

    Wild vs. farmed:

    In my opinion, buying wild caught salmon and fish in general is always best. The majority of farmed salmon is extremely fatty and the fish can be fed red dye pellets to help dye the flesh that signature salmon pink. The salmon also can be contaminated with lice due to the crowded pens, treated with antibiotics and can spread disease to wild salmon. Farmed salmon is most commonly refereed to as Atlantic Salmon in grocery stores and on restaurant menus. If possible, always opt for wild salmon.

    I purchase my wild caught salmon from Sitka Salmon Shares. I know I have talked about them in the past but every year I am amazed by this company. Sitka Salmon catches fish that are in season using minimal negative ecological impact fishing methods. They also use family-owned Alaska fishing companies that put quality first and handle fish one at a time and with care.

    ...our fish come from sustainable fisheries in Alaska and are caught using fishing methods that minimize negative ecological impacts. You’ll never find a fish from us caught with high impact trawl or bottom trawl gear.

    Coho Salmon vs. Sockeye Salmon:

    Coho salmon is a bit milder compared to sockeye salmon and has a lighter pink flesh. Sockeye is the opposite of coho and is a very deep red and has more of a fishy taste. I have tried this recipe using both coho salmon and sockeye salmon. If you decide to use king salmon, please note the cooking times may vary since king salmon is thicker and more meaty.

    My favorite sheet pans to use are USA Pans. I have both the full sheet pan and a half sheet pan and I love them both. They are aluminized steel and have a unique ridged shape for even air and heat distribution. USA Pans also makes bakeware such as muffin tins and cake pans.

      This was delicious! It was also super easy to prepare and very visually appealing.
      I used Coho Salmon and it really allowed the sauce to shine. This will definitely be a repeat at our house.
