Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups green beans, trimmed
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set this balsamic glaze aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
Sear the salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside on a plate. You do not need to cook the salmon fully at this stage.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss in the cherry tomatoes, green beans, and sliced red onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Return the salmon fillets to the pan, nestling them among the vegetables. Pour the prepared balsamic glaze evenly over the salmon and vegetables.
Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for 2 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve the salmon fillets with the roasted vegetables, and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top. Enjoy!
