Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup diced fresh peaches (peeled)
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp low‑sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Optional: 1/2 cup cooked quinoa for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels; season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Place broccoli florets on the prepared sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil, tossing until coated. Spread them out evenly.
- Arrange the salmon fillets on the sheet pan, skin‑side down. Spoon the glaze evenly over each fillet.
- Scatter diced peaches over the salmon and broccoli, allowing them to mingle with the sauce.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 12‑15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily and broccoli is tender‑crisp.
- Transfer the sheet pan to the stovetop over medium heat; swirl the melted glaze to coat the chicken, cooking for 2‑3 minutes until sticky and fragrant.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and optional quinoa for a hearty, balanced meal.
Chef's Note
For the freshest flavor, use snap‑fresh peaches. If using frozen peaches, thaw them and pat dry before adding.
Make-Ahead Tips
The glaze can be made up to 48 hours in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Pre‑dice peaches and store separately in a sealed jar.
