Honey Rosemary Baked Salmon
Description
The Honey Rosemary Baked Salmon recipe features skinless salmon fillets baked over a bed of thinly sliced sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes are first tossed with olive oil, minced fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper, then roasted in the oven. Meanwhile, a mixture of softened butter, minced garlic, honey, and rosemary is spread over the seasoned salmon fillets. Once the salmon is placed atop the potatoes along with thin lemon slices, the dish is returned to the oven to bake until the salmon is opaque and flaky. The honey adds a gentle sweetness that balances the savory herbs and garlic.
The texture contrast between the tender salmon and the slightly caramelized sweet potatoes creates a satisfying dinner. The lemon slices on top provide a subtle citrus aroma that lifts the overall flavor profile. Drizzling more honey on the finished dish enhances its sweet-savory harmony.
This recipe is a practical, flavorful option for a balanced meal with protein and vegetable in one pan. It can be served directly from the baking sheet, keeping cleanup simple.
Ingredients
For the sweet potatoes:
- 2 sweet potato thinly sliced, medium
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon rosemary minced fresh
- salt to taste, Kosher salt
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt
For the salmon:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon honey plus extra for drizzling
- 1 teaspoon rosemary minced fresh
- salt to taste, Kosher salt
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt
- 24 oz salmon 4 pieces, skinless fillets
- 1 lemon thinly sliced, large
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a large rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss until sweet potatoes are coated. Spread the sweet potato rounds in an even layer on the pan. Place the pan in the oven for 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the softened butter, garlic, honey, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Place the salmon fillets on top of the sweet potatoes. Spread the butter mixture evenly on salmon pieces. Place the lemon slices on top. Put the pan back in the oven and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the salmon is opaque throughout. The cook time will depend on the thickness of your salmon pieces. Check at 10 minutes to be safe.
- Remove from the oven and lightly drizzle honey over the sweet potatoes and salmon. Serve immediately.
