Sheet Pan Maple Glazed Salmon DIY Recipe (with step-by-step instructions)

One of my favorite recipes is this handy Baked Salmon dish. It’s ridiculously easy to make so it’s one of my go-to dishes. Having said that, I recognize that I need to branch out, so here I am, trying out this new Maple Glazed Salmon recipe.

Let me tell you – it’s good! I love the sauce. Honestly, salmon tastes good no matter what. Definitely a miracle fish.

 

DELECTABLE DISH FOR THE DAY: MAPLE GLAZED SALMON

DIFFICULTY: Easy

SERVING SIZE: Good for 5 people

COOKING TIME: 60 minutes

 

INGREDIENTS FOR THE SHEET PAN MAPLE GLAZED SALMON

 

  • 2 sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 pound broccoli florets
  • Olive oil
  • 5 salmon fillets
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper

 

 

STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS TO MAKE MAPLE GLAZED SALMON

  • Heat oven to 220 deg C.
  • Use a glass baking dish so that you can take advantage of the yummy sauce afterwards (I regret using a baking pan with foil – the foil ended up soaked with the sauce huhu, such a waste!)
  • Spread the cut up sweet potatoes and broccoli onto the pan. Make sure the sweet potatoes are cut into small cubes so that they’ll be tender at the end of the cooking time

  • Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper, then mix with the veggies. Make sure vegetables are fully coated

  • Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes, on until potatoes are fork tender
  • While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the glaze for the salmon. This glaze is THE BEST. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Feel free to make more because it really is super good!

  • Push the vegetables to the edges of the baking dish. Place the salmon at the center of the tray. Make sure there’s ~1/2 inch space in between each fillet so they can cook evenly. Brush the glaze on top of each salmon. I coat the salmon liberally with the glaze.

  • Roast for 10 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and top is browned and crispy. Potatoes and broccoli should be roasted and tender as well

  • Bon Appetit!
