Hoisin Glazed Salmon and Veggies in Foil
This Hoisin Glazed Salmon in Foil with Veggies is a no-fuss weeknight meal. Everything cooks in foil in the oven, which keeps the salmon moist and the vegetables tender while making cleanup quick. The whole meal comes together in about 30 minutes.
The salmon is coated with a simple hoisin glaze that balances sweet, salty, and nutty flavors. The sauce uses only three ingredients you likely already have: hoisin, low-sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil. Brush half the sauce on the salmon before baking and reserve the rest to finish the filets when they come out of the oven.
All you need is 3 ingredients for the Asian inspired sauce!
To make the quick three-ingredient hoisin sauce, simply whisk together:
- 1/4 cup hoisin
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Set the sauce aside until you brush it on the salmon and veggies before baking and use the reserved half to finish the fillets after cooking.
Ingredients for This Hoisin-Glazed Salmon in Foil with Veggies
- Olive oil: A light drizzle for the vegetables and fish to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Sesame seeds: Optional garnish for a nutty finish.
- Salmon fillets: Two fillets (boneless preferred). Wild-caught is a good choice if available.
- Fresh mixed vegetables: About 2 cups total. A mix of carrots, broccoli, and snap peas works well. Trim or cut large broccoli pieces so everything cooks evenly.
TIP: Avoid frozen vegetables unless they are fully thawed and patted dry. Frozen produce can release water during baking and make the dish soggy.
How To Make Hoisin Glazed Salmon and Veggies in Foil
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Line two sheets of aluminum foil on a baking sheet.
- Arrange the vegetables on the foil, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Place a salmon fillet on top of each vegetable pile.
- Whisk the hoisin sauce (hoisin, soy sauce, sesame oil) in a small bowl.
- Brush each fillet with half the sauce, reserving the remainder for after baking.
- Seal the foil packets tightly so steam stays inside and the salmon cooks evenly.
- Bake 20–25 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Open the packets carefully and finish with the reserved sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.

How To Store and Reheat Hoisin-Glazed Salmon and Veggies
- To store: Place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two days.
- To reheat: Wrap leftovers in foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through. Reheating gently in the oven helps prevent overcooking; microwaving fish can make it dry or alter the texture.
