Print Recipe

A delicious and healthy meal featuring perfectly glazed salmon served over a bed of cheesy roasted carrots and sweet potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cheesy Carrot & Sweet Potato:
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • For the Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon:
  • 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp grated ginger

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes and carrots with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until tender.
  3. While vegetables roast, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  4. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  5. Flip the salmon and pour the honey garlic glaze over the fillets. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, basting occasionally, until salmon is cooked through and glaze has thickened.
  6. Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted.
  7. To serve, divide the cheesy vegetables between plates. Top with a glazed salmon fillet. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

For a crispier salmon skin, press the fillet skin-side down in the hot skillet for the first minute of cooking. You can substitute maple syrup for honey if desired.
