Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Mix until smooth and well combined.
2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, 1 clove garlic
Place the salmon fillets on one half of the baking sheet and arrange the green beans and cherry tomatoes on the other.
4 salmon fillets, 12 oz green beans, 2 cups cherry tomatoes
Brush the lemon-Dijon honey sauce evenly over each salmon fillet and drizzle the remaining sauce over the vegetables. Toss the vegetables in the sauce to combine.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender and roasted. For a little extra caramelization, broil for 1 to 2 minutes
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-5 minutes. Serve warm with fresh parsley/dill and lemon wedges, if you like.
fresh parsley or dill, lemon wedges for serving

Notes

Before adding the glaze, lightly pat the fillets with paper towels. This helps the honey and mustard cling to the surface and gives your salmon that beautiful, lightly caramelized top.
If your salmon fillets vary in thickness, place the thicker pieces toward the center of the pan and the thinner pieces toward the edges so they cook more evenly.
If you love extra shine and flavor, brush on a bit more glaze during the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
Give the salmon a short 3–5 minute rest after baking. This lets the juices redistribute, keeping the fillets tender.
