Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each)
  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (use low-sodium or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir occasionally and simmer gently for about 5 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly and becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Toss broccoli florets with olive oil and a pinch of black pepper. Spread evenly on one half of a rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place skin-side down on the other half of the baking sheet. Brush each fillet with a little olive oil and season lightly with black pepper.
  5. Roast broccoli and salmon in the oven for 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Brush the thickened honey soy glaze generously over the salmon fillets. Toss the broccoli florets lightly with any remaining glaze if desired.
  7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 7-10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the broccoli is tender with browned edges.
  8. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the salmon and broccoli just before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking to help glaze stick and skin crisp up. Simmer glaze slowly to prevent burning. Toss broccoli halfway through roasting for even browning. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure roasting instead of steaming. For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lime or lemon over the finished dish. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheat best in a skillet or oven.
