Okay, ladies and gents, let me tell you about a dinner recipe that’s going to make your taste buds dance and your family think you’ve secretly enrolled in culinary school! Today, I’m sharing my absolute favorite Pan-Seared Honey Garlic Salmon with Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables. Trust me, this one’s a keeper! 💁♀️
Y’all, as a busy woman who loves good food but hates complicated recipes, this dish has become my go-to when I want to impress without spending hours in the kitchen. It’s healthy, gorgeous, and tastes like something you’d get at that fancy restaurant downtown (you know the one!).
Let’s get cooking, shall we?
For the Salmon:
– 4 salmon fillets (wild-caught if you’re fancy like that)
– 4 tablespoons honey
– 6 cloves garlic (yes, six! We’re not afraid of flavor here)
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Veggies:
– 2 zucchini, chunked
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
– 1 red onion, wedged
– Cherry tomatoes (as many as your heart desires!)
– Fresh herbs (I’m obsessed with thyme and rosemary)
Girl, here’s what you’re gonna do:
1. Preheat that oven to 400°F (205°C). While it’s heating up, mix honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl. This sauce is seriously to die for!
1. Season your salmon with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it’s hot (but not smoking!), place salmon skin-side up and sear for 4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and pour that heavenly sauce all over it.
1. Meanwhile, toss those gorgeous veggies with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs on a baking sheet. Pop them in the oven for 20 minutes.
1. Transfer your salmon to the oven for the final 8-10 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork.
