Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Salmon:

4 salmon fillets
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water (for thickening)
Lemon slices (for garnish)

For the Roasted Mixed Vegetables:

2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, broccoli)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste

Recipe Instructions:

Prepare the Teriyaki Glaze:

Combine Ingredients:
- In a small saucepan, mix soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil.
Cook the Sauce:
- Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cook the Salmon:

Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Glaze the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and brush generously with the teriyaki glaze.
Bake the Salmon:
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Brush with additional glaze halfway through cooking for extra flavor.

Prepare the Roasted Vegetables:

Season the Vegetables:
- Toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Roast:
- Spread the vegetables on a separate baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven alongside the salmon for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
