Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 medium butternut squash peeled, seeded, and cubed

Honey Mustard Glaze

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Prepare a sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  • Peel, seed, and cube the butternut squash. Toss it in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
  • Spread the cubed squash on the prepared sheet pan. Place salmon fillets alongside the squash.
  • Using a basting brush, generously coat each salmon fillet with the honey mustard glaze.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and squash is tender.
  • For an optional crispy finish, broil for an additional 2 minutes until the tops are slightly charred.

Serving

  • Transfer the salmon and squash to serving plates. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Storage

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions: Replace butternut squash with sweet potatoes for a sweeter flavor.
How to Serve: Pair with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.
Storage & Freshness: Best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
