Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp honey, and 1 tsp grated ginger until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Step 3: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then place skin-side down in the hot skillet; cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy, then flip and cook for 2-3 minutes more until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
  4. Step 4: Remove the salmon from the skillet, pour the soy sauce mixture into the skillet, and add the broccoli florets; stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is crisp-tender and bright green.
  5. Step 5: Return the salmon to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and cook for 1 minute to reheat. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sliced green onions before serving.
