Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb salmon fillet
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 4 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon chili crisp
  • 1 lemon zested and cut into slices
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Roasted Vegetables
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 2 cups zucchini sliced into 2-inch pieces

Equipment

  • 1 baking tray
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Bowl for mixing the glaze

Method
 

Preheat and Prep
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Make the Glaze
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, chili crisp, lemon zest, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt.
Cut and Arrange the Vegetables
  1. Cut the cauliflower florets and zucchini into 2-inch pieces to ensure even roasting and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  2. Toss the vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the Baking Tray
  1. Place parchment paper on the baking tray for easy clean up.
  2. Arrange the lemon slices on, creating a bed for the salmon.
  3. Place the salmon on top of the lemon slices and pour the glaze evenly over the fish.
  4. Arrange the prepared vegetables around the salmon.
Roast
  1. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  2. For a caramelized finish, broil on high for an additional 5 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  3. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cut the veggies into 2-inch pieces so they roast evenly and don’t turn mushy.
  • Don’t skip the broil step - it gives the salmon that gorgeous caramelized top.
  • Check for doneness early (around 20 minutes) since oven times can vary with the size of the salmon.
