Instructions
Preheat broiler to high and place the oven rack on the top position, about 4 to 6 inches below the broiler.
Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup and place the salmon filets (skin side down) in the center of the pan, place the cauliflower on one side, and the broccoli (VERY IMPORTANT - SEE NOTE 1 below) on the other side.
Evenly drizzle salmon and vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; set aside
To a small microwave bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt.
Add the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, and stir to combine.
Evenly drizzle about half of the mixture over the salmon filets, and evenly drizzle the remaining portion over the vegetables.
Broil for about 5 minutes, check, turn pan, and broil for approximately 5 additional minutes or until salmon and vegetables are lightly browned and salmon is cooked through. During the second 5 minutes of broiling, keep a very close eye on your food. SEE NOTE 2 below regarding broiling.
Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
1. The broccoli will cook faster than the salmon and the cauliflower, in about half the time. If you don't like your broccoli very well done, do not add it until step 7 when you check on the salmon and cauliflower and rotate the pan. I am guessing that for most people, you will prefer adding it in step 7 than 2. However, I personally like broccoli to the nearly charred stage on the tips of the florets so I add it in step 2 but do as you prefer.2. You don’t have to broil on the top rack, you can use the second rack, and while it will take longer, there’s less chance of it burning. Keep a close eye on your food because all broilers are different and you don’t want anything to burn. Exact broiling time will depend on the size and thickness of the salmon, the size of the vegetable florets, climate and oven variances, and personal preference.3. Overall cooking time will vary depending on number of filets used, i.e. 3 bigger/thicker ones versus 4 smaller/thinner ones. Watch your food and not the clock to determine doneness. Storage: Extra will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 4 days.
