  • 1 Cutting Board for chopping vegetables and preparing ingredients.
  • 1 Knife for slicing vegetables and salmon.
  • Measuring Spoons/Cups for measuring sauce ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 2 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • ½ red onion (sliced)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water
  • sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • green onions (chopped for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven to 400°F
    To kick off this delicious meal, you'll need to preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is essential for ensuring your salmon and vegetables cook evenly and achieve that perfect golden-brown finish.
    While your oven's heating up, it's the perfect time to gather your ingredients and prep your sheet pan.
    Why 400°F, you might wonder? This oven temperature strikes the ideal balance between quick cooking and flavor development. It's hot enough to create a delicious caramelization on your salmon and veggies without drying them out.
    Here's a pro cooking tip: if you've got a convection oven, reduce the temperature by 25°F for even better results.

  • Prepare Teriyaki Sauce
    While your oven heats up, let's focus on the star of this dish: the teriyaki sauce. You'll be amazed at how easy it's to whip up this homemade sauce, and once you've mastered it, you'll never go back to store-bought versions.
    In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. This blend of ingredients creates a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and tangy flavors that'll make your taste buds dance.
    Now, here's where the magic happens. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Can you smell those aromatic flavors mingling together?
    While it's simmering, mix cornstarch with water in a separate bowl. This slurry will thicken your sauce to that perfect, glossy consistency. Add it to the simmering sauce, whisking constantly until it thickens.
    Voila! You've just created a restaurant-quality teriyaki sauce. Want to experiment with teriyaki variations? Try adding a splash of pineapple juice or a dash of red pepper flakes for a twist.

  • Arrange Ingredients on Sheet Pan
    Grab your sheet pan and let's start assembling this delicious meal. First, line your pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
    Now, consider your vegetable placement. Arrange the broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, snap peas, and red onion in a single layer around the edges of the pan. Don't overcrowd them; they need space to roast evenly.
    Next, let's focus on salmon spacing. Place your four salmon fillets in the center of the sheet pan, skin-side down. Make sure there's a bit of room between each fillet to allow for even cooking.
    Remember, proper spacing is key to achieving that perfect caramelization on both the veggies and the salmon.
    Wondering about seasoning? Don't worry, we'll get to that next. For now, take a step back and admire your handiwork. Doesn't it look colorful and appetizing already?
    You're well on your way to mastering this sheet pan method. By arranging everything thoughtfully, you're setting yourself up for a meal that's not only delicious but also visually appealing.
    Ready for the next step?

  • Bake for 15-20 Minutes
    With your ingredients beautifully arranged on the sheet pan, it's time to start cooking. Slide the pan into your preheated 400°F oven and let the magic of sheet pan meals begin. As the salmon and vegetables bake, you'll notice enticing aromas filling your kitchen. Isn't it amazing how simple baking techniques can transform raw ingredients into a mouthwatering meal?
    Keep an eye on the clock, as timing is essential for perfectly cooked salmon. After about 10 minutes, you might want to rotate the pan for even cooking. Remember, the goal is tender, flaky fish and crisp-tender vegetables.
    As you approach the 15-minute mark, start checking for doneness. The salmon should be opaque and easily flake with a fork, while the vegetables should be vibrant and slightly caramelized. If needed, give it a few more minutes, but be careful not to overcook.
    Want to add an extra layer of flavor? Consider brushing the salmon with more teriyaki sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking. This final touch will create a deliciously sticky glaze that'll have everyone asking for seconds.

  • Garnish and Serve Immediately
    The final touch to your Sheet Pan Teriyaki Salmon is the garnish. As you remove the pan from the oven, you'll be greeted by the enticing aroma of caramelized teriyaki and roasted vegetables.
    Now's the time to elevate your dish with some eye-catching garnish ideas. Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the salmon and vegetables, adding a subtle crunch and nutty flavor. Then, scatter freshly chopped green onions across the pan, their vibrant color contrasting beautifully with the glazed salmon.
    Ready to impress with your serving techniques? Grab your favorite large platter and carefully transfer the salmon fillets, placing them in the center. Surround the fish with the colorful roasted vegetables, creating an appetizing display.
    Want to add an extra touch of freshness? Consider adding a wedge of lemon on the side for diners to squeeze over their meal. Remember, presentation is key! As you serve, why not share a fun fact about teriyaki's origins or salmon's health benefits? Your guests will appreciate the meal even more.
    Now, dig in while it's hot and enjoy the fruits of your culinary labor!
