Sheet Pan Orange-Honey Salmon With Broccoli and Sweet Potatoes

Serves 2

• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 crushed garlic clove
• 1/2 pound broccoli florets. about 4 cups
• 1/2 pound sweet potatoes, washed, skin on cut into 1-inch pieces, about 3 cups
• olive oil spray.
• 3/4 pound salmon fillet
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Mix the orange juice, honey, soy sauce and garlic together in a small saucepan. Set aside. Line a baking sheet with foil. Spread the broccoli out on one side of the sheet. Line the potato pieces in one layer on the other side of the sheet, leaving space in the middle for the salmon. Spray the broccoli and sweet potatoes with the olive oil spray. Place pan in the oven for 10 minutes. Meanwhile place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Stir the sauce until it starts to thicken, about 5 to 6 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the salmon in the space that is left. Return the baking sheet to the oven for 10 minutes. Check the salmon. A meat thermometer should read 140 degrees. The salmon will be barely opaque when flaked in the center with the tip of a small knife. If you want your salmon more well done, bake for another 5 minutes. Spoon the olive oil over the broccoli and potatoes and add salt and pepper to taste. Divide the vegetables and salmon into two portions and place on two dinner plates. Spoon the sauce over the salmon.
