How to quickly and easily cook up your Honey Lemon Baked Salmon Dinner
If you need to thaw your salmon filets just put them in a bowl of water to thaw while you get the veggies ready.
Turn on your oven and set it at 450°.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (or use a non stick one like we did here) and spray or wipe it with olive oil.
Clean and cut up the potatoes and put them on the baking sheet with the skin side down and along with the broccoli and baby carrots. Drizzle everything with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Put the honey in a bowl, squeeze in the lemon juice and add the parsley flakes. Then whisk it all together with the brush that you are going to use to apply it to the salmon.
Lay the Salmon filets out on the sheet pan skin side down. If the filets have been skinned just look for the side that is flatter and has a pale gray stripe in the middle and lay that side down on the pan.
Brush them generously with the honey lemon mixture and cover with the lemon slices.
Put it in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the carrots and the potatoes are soft to poke with a table fork and/or the salmon wants to easily flake when you poke it with the fork.
Then just sprinkle with a little bit of parsley flakes. Serve it and sit down and enjoy your Honey Lemon Baked Salmon Weeknight Dinner.
