Instructions
Heat the oven to 500 degrees and place the rack in the lowest position. Combine 2 tablespoons oil, chives, mustard, 1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper in a small bowl and set aside. Spray baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Place potatoes cut sides down on half of the sheet. Then toss the broccoli with 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and place on the empty side of the sheet. Roast until potatoes are golden brown and broccoli is spotty brown and tender, 12 to 14 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through roasting.
While potatoes and broccoli roast, combine paprika, 1 teaspoon oil, lemon zest, remaining 2 teaspoons honey (or maple syrup), remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl; microwave until bubbling and fragrant, 10 to 15 seconds. Pat fish dry with a paper towel, then brush with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil. Finish by brushing the fish with the honey mixture.
Remove sheet from oven and reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees. Transfer the broccoli (and potatoes if done) to a platter and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm. If the potatoes are not done, move them to one side and place the fish on the empty side of the sheet. Roast until potatoes are done and the fish flakes and temperature registers 130 degrees, about 8-12 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through roasting.
If necessary, rewarm the broccoli in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Place fish and vegetables on a platter. Spoon mustard sauce onto fish and serve, passing additional sauce.
