A quick and easy sheet pan meal featuring juicy teriyaki-glazed salmon with crisp snap peas and tender carrots, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each), skin-on if preferred
  • 8 ounces snap peas
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil over medium heat. Let it simmer gently for about 3 minutes.
  3. Mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry, then stir into the simmering sauce. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until thickened to a glossy glaze. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss snap peas and carrot slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on one side of the baking sheet.
  5. Pat dry the salmon fillets and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down on the other side of the baking sheet, leaving space between pieces.
  6. Brush about two-thirds of the teriyaki glaze generously over the salmon and veggies. Reserve the rest for serving.
  7. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and veggies are tender-crisp.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top immediately after baking.
  9. Serve immediately, drizzling with any remaining teriyaki sauce.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to allow proper roasting. Be generous but avoid drowning the veggies in sauce to prevent sogginess. Watch salmon closely around 12 minutes to avoid drying out. Let salmon rest a few minutes after baking. For extra crisp skin, broil 1-2 minutes at the end. Fresh green onions and sesame seeds add a nice finishing touch.
