Champlain Valley Honey-Glazed Salmon with Roasted Vegetables

This dish is a delightful combination of sweet and savory, featuring succulent salmon glazed with Champlain Valley Apiaries raw honey and a medley of colorful roasted vegetables. It's perfect for a quick and impressive weeknight meal.

Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets (around 6 oz each)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup Champlain Valley Apiaries raw honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced
• 1/2 red onion, sliced

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss the bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the raw honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and lemon juice.
5. Place the salmon fillets on top of the roasted vegetables on the baking sheet. Brush the salmon with half of the honey glaze.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. During the last few minutes of baking, brush the salmon with the remaining honey glaze for a sticky and caramelized finish.

Tips:

• To check if the salmon is cooked through, gently press the center with a finger. It should feel firm but slightly springy.
• You can substitute other vegetables like broccoli florets, asparagus spears, or cherry tomatoes for the bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion.
• Serve this dish with a side of brown rice or quinoa for a complete and balanced meal.
