Honey-Mustard Sheet Pan Salmon

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.

• 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.

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.
