Here’s a speedy sheet pan dinner that covers all the nutritional bases — protein, omega-3s, antioxidants, fiber — and is delicious to boot. Lightly adapted from Jake Cohen’s “I Could Nosh: Classic Jewish Recipes Revamped for Every Day.” Serves 4. – Susan Puckett

- 1 12-ounce bag pre-cut broccoli florets

- 2 tbspsmooth Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp whole-grain mustard
- 1½ tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp minced fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tbsp dried)
- 2 tbsp finely grated lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450. Place a rack 6 inches from top of oven and another in lower half.
- On a sheet pan, combine potatoes, broccoli, fennel, 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, water, and ½ tsp each salt and black pepper. Toss to coat. Roast on top rack, 25 to 30 minutes, until tender and lightly golden.
- Line another sheet pan with foil and place fillets, skin down, on it. In small bowl, whisk 2 tbsp olive oil, both mustards, honey, thyme, lemon zest, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Spoon over salmon.
