Toss them so they get coated evenly. Bake everything in the oven for about 15 to 18 minutes. The salmon should be cooked through and flake easily with a fork.

Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup baby carrots, halved

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, grated ginger, and olive oil until well combined.

      Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Season the top of the fillets with salt and pepper.

        Using a brush or spoon, generously coat the salmon with the honey glaze mixture, reserving some for later.

          On the other side of the baking sheet, arrange the broccoli florets, baby carrots, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.

            Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

              Broil the salmon for an additional 2-3 minutes for a caramelized finish, if desired. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

                Remove from the oven and drizzle any leftover honey glaze over the salmon and vegetables.

                  Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley before serving.
