  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • salmon
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/8 tsp grill mates seasoning
  • 1/8 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp lemon pepper
  • Bake for 10 minutes then broil for 3 to 4 minutes
  • Spicy caramelized veggies:
  • 2 cups mixed veggies
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (non-alcoholic alternative, e.g., naturally brewed or tamarind-based)
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/8 tsp dried pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp brown sugar

Instructions

Prepping the salmon

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet. Brush them with melted butter.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, grill mates seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, and lemon pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the salmon.

Baking and broiling

  1. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. The salmon will start to turn opaque and release its natural juices.
  2. Switch to broil mode for the last 3-4 minutes. This gives the top a beautiful golden crust. Watch closely to prevent overcooking!

Caramelizing the veggies

  1. While the salmon bakes, toss the mixed veggies in a bowl with soy sauce, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, butter, dried pepper flakes, and brown sugar.
  2. Spread the veggies onto a separate baking sheet and pop them in the oven. Bake for about 7 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even caramelization.

Notes

Feeding a group? No problem! Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need. When baking multiple fillets, make sure they’re arranged in a single layer with some space between each one so they cook evenly. You might need to extend the cooking time slightly, but keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
