Ingredients You’ll Need
- Salmon fillets – Use two 5 to 6-ounce fillets, skin-on or skinless. Rich in protein and healthy fats, they’re the star of the sheet pan.
- Dijon mustard – Brings a sharp, tangy flavor that balances the sweetness of the honey.
- Whole grain mustard – Adds texture and a mellow mustard bite with visible seeds for a rustic finish.
- Honey – Naturally sweet and sticky, it helps create that golden caramelized glaze.
- Chili flakes (optional) – Just a pinch adds warmth without overpowering the glaze.
- Baby potatoes – Tender and buttery, these roast up with golden, crisped edges.
- Broccolini – A slightly sweeter, more delicate cousin of broccoli. It roasts beautifully while staying tender-crisp.

How to Make It
- Roast the potatoes.
Toss the baby potatoes with olive oil and salt, then roast them on a parchment-lined sheet pan. They need a head start to get golden and crisp before the salmon and broccolini join the pan. - Whisk together the honey mustard glaze.
While the potatoes roast, stir together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, chili flakes (if using), and salt until smooth and glossy. This sauce brings all the flavor. It’s tangy, sweet, and just a little spicy. - Add the salmon and broccolini.
Push the potatoes to one side of the sheet pan, then nestle in the salmon fillets. Brush them generously with the honey mustard glaze. Add the broccolini on the other side and drizzle with a bit of olive oil and salt. - Roast everything together.
Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast until the salmon is flaky, the broccolini is tender-crisp, and the potatoes are golden brown. - Serve and enjoy.
Spoon any extra glaze or pan juices over the salmon just before serving.
