I’ve been making this one pan honey glazed salmon for years, and it never fails to impress. The beauty lies in its simplicity. Everything goes on a single sheet pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor as the vegetables and fish cook together, sharing their juices.
The honey glaze comes together quickly with just a few pantry staples. I use a good quality honey, soy sauce (make sure it’s kosher certified), fresh garlic, and a splash of lemon juice. The key is brushing the glaze on twice during cooking. Once before the fish goes in the oven, then again halfway through. This creates layers of caramelized flavor that coat the salmon beautifully.
Building the Perfect Honey Glaze
For the vegetables, I stick with sturdy options that can handle the same cooking time as salmon. Brussels sprouts, baby potatoes, and carrots work perfectly. Cut everything roughly the same size so they cook evenly. The vegetables get tossed with olive oil and seasoning before hitting the pan, then they roast alongside the fish, picking up some of those sweet, savory drippings.
Choosing the Right Vegetables for Roasting
This recipe works wonderfully for weeknight dinners when you want something special without the fuss. It’s also impressive enough for Shabbat dinner. I like to serve it with a simple green salad and some crusty bread to soak up any extra glaze on the pan.

Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon olive oil to make the glaze. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and carrots with 3 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until evenly coated.
- Spread the vegetables on the prepared sheet pan, leaving space in the center for the salmon fillets.
- Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them in the center of the pan among the vegetables.
- Brush half of the honey glaze over the salmon fillets, reserving the rest for later.
- Roast for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and brush the remaining glaze over the salmon.
- Continue roasting for 8-12 more minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
- Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve immediately with any pan juices drizzled over the top.
