Honey Mustard-Glazed Salmon With Mashed Potatoes + Broccoli
Served with veggies and mashed potatoes. This sauce is my favorite way to eat salmon, hands-down. Healthy, simple, easy. What more could you want in a dinner recipe?!
It’s Addictive.
This salmon dinner is in my weekly rotation. It’s a no-brainer meal that I can throw together with minimal prep after a long day of work. It’s easy, healthy and makes my mouth water. There’s no waiting hours for a marinade — just season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon. Then set it and forget it! It’s essentially a one-pan dinner. Though the sauce is made on the stovetop, your starch can be cooked in the same pan, too.
But as easy as this dinner is, the real seller is the honey-mustard sauce. It is so quick and tastes like candy! I cannot stop sneaking tastes of this while it is cooking. It’s my favorite way to cook salmon — the bold Dijon mustard, the sweet honey, the kiss of citrus and light, earthy dill play so well off of the fish.
I love to balance the crisp, roasted veggies with creamy, mashed red potatoes, but they do have to be boiled and cooked separately on the stove. Once that’s done, however, it just takes a few minutes to finish the dish after the potatoes have cooked.
In a rush? No worries. Make the entire meal a sheet-pan dinner by halving some mini potatoes, tossing them in olive oil, salt and pepper, and letting them cook in the oven for about 10 minutes while you prep the other ingredients. When that’s done, make room for the salmon and veggies, then cook everything together until the fish is ready.
Customize It
I love this dinner because not only is it easy, but it’s highly customizable. Swap the broccoli for asparagus, zucchini, green beans carrots or squash.
Not feeling the honey mustard sauce? Simply season the fish with lemon juice and herbs, or even use a bottled salad dressing such as teriyaki, Italian or something with balsamic vinegar. Butter, white wine, lemon and minced garlic are a classic combination with seafood too.
