Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 2 fillets Salmon Rich in omega-3 fatty acids; opt for fresh, skin-on fillets for better flavor.

  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice Freshly squeezed is best for flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavors; keep minimal.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust to liking.
For the Broccoli
  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets Fresh preferred; frozen will work too.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Helps roast broccoli.
Optional Enhancements
  • 1 clove Chopped Garlic Fresh gives the best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes For a spicy kick.
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Green Onions Omit if not available.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds Toasted seeds add nuttiness.

Equipment

  • Sheet Pan
  • Parchment paper or foil
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

How to Make 30-Minute Honey Lime Salmon
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy clean-up.
  2. Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down on one side of the sheet pan and surround with fresh broccoli florets.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the salmon and broccoli. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
  4. Mix together the honey and lime juice in a small bowl. Optionally add minced garlic.
  5. Brush half of the honey-lime glaze over the salmon and broccoli.
  6. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes, then brush on the remaining glaze. Continue roasting for another 8-10 minutes.
  7. Broil for 1-2 minutes if you want a caramelized finish, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Rest for a few minutes before serving.
