Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar to create the glaze.

4. Step 4: In the same skillet, add 2 tsp sesame oil and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Step 5: Add 3 cups broccoli florets, stirring frequently for 5-6 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp and bright green.
6. Step 6: Drizzle the remaining glaze over broccoli, sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions, toss gently, and cook for another minute.
7. Step 7: Plate the salmon alongside the glazed broccoli and serve immediately.
