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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set this balsamic glaze aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Return the salmon fillets to the pan, nestling them among the vegetables. Pour the prepared balsamic glaze evenly over the salmon and vegetables.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve the salmon fillets with the roasted vegetables, and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top. Enjoy!
