- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 2 salmon filets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 medium potatoes, cubed
- 1 yellow squash, sliced
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- Fresh herbs, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the salmon filets in a shallow dish and brush them generously with the chili honey marinade. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, spread the cubed potatoes, sliced yellow squash, onion wedges, and red pepper slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Start by baking the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. After this time, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Place the marinated salmon filets on the same baking sheet with the roasted vegetables.
- Continue baking for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork and the veggies are soft.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve the Baked Chili Honey Salmon with lime alongside the roasted veggies.
Notes
Feel free to customize the roasted veggies with your favorites or whatever you have on hand. Zucchini, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, or Brussels sprouts all make welcome additions. To ensure even cooking, select salmon filets of similar thickness. You can test for doneness by gently flaking the salmon—it should be opaque and easily separated. Serve with a side salad, quinoa, or crusty bread to round out your meal. Enjoy!
