Scale
Sauce Ingredients
- 3 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Salmon Bites
- 1 lb salmon fillet, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetables
- 1 cup baby carrots, halved or sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the honey mustard sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Season the salmon bites: Place the salmon cubes in a bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Prepare the vegetables: In a separate bowl, combine the baby carrots, broccoli florets, and sliced red bell pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the veggies evenly.
- Coat salmon with sauce: Pour the honey mustard sauce over the seasoned salmon bites and gently toss until all pieces are well coated.
- Arrange for roasting: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the coated salmon bites in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish. Arrange the prepared vegetables around the salmon or on a separate baking sheet.
- Roast the salmon and vegetables: Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the honey mustard salmon bites hot alongside the roasted vegetables for a balanced and flavorful meal.
Notes
- You can substitute Dijon mustard with whole grain mustard for a different texture.
- For extra flavor, add fresh herbs like dill or parsley before serving.
- If you prefer, you can grill the salmon bites instead of roasting.
- Ensure salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
- Leftover salmon bites can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
