_Sips coffee_ Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about a dinner recipe that’ll make you want to break up with your food delivery app! Trust me, as someone who used to survive on takeout, this recipe changed my life, and my waistline is thanking me.
Today, I’m sharing my absolutely divine Honey-Garlic Glazed Salmon with Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables. It’s fancy enough to impress your date but easy enough that you won’t have a mental breakdown in the kitchen (we’ve all been there, right?).
Let’s get cooking, gorgeous people!
What you’ll need:
– 4 salmon fillets (wild-caught if you’re feeling fancy)
– 4 tablespoons honey
– 6 cloves garlic (because who actually follows the “2 cloves” recommendation?)
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 lemon
– Colorful bell peppers
– Cherry tomatoes
– Zucchini
– Red onion
– Olive oil
– Fresh herbs (I use whatever hasn’t died in my herb garden)
– Salt and pepper
Y’all, this is where the magic happens! First, preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). While that’s heating up, mix honey, minced garlic (crush it with love), soy sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl. This glaze is so good, you’ll want to bathe in it (please don’t, though).

Now, chop those veggies into bite-sized pieces. Spread them on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Pop them in the oven for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, season your salmon fillets and sear them in a pan for 2-3 minutes each side. Pour that heavenly glaze over them and transfer everything to the oven with the veggies for another 8-10 minutes.
The result? A restaurant-worthy dinner that’s healthy, gorgeous, and will have your Instagram followers drooling. The salmon should be flaky and tender, while the veggies should have those beautiful charred edges that make everything taste better.
Plate it up like the kitchen goddess you are, and maybe add some fresh herbs on top if you’re feeling extra fancy (or need to hide any slightly burnt spots – no judgment here!).
This entire meal comes together in under 30 minutes, which is probably less time than you spend deciding what to order for takeout. Plus, it’s packed with protein, healthy fats, and all those good-for-you vegetables that make your skin glow.
