Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Set aside.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, about 1 minute.
Step 3: Season 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each) with 1/2 tsp salt and place skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp.
Step 4: Flip the salmon fillets and immediately spoon the honey-ginger sauce over the top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until salmon is cooked through and glaze is sticky and fragrant.
Step 5: Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan and add 3 cups broccoli florets. Cover and steam for 4-5 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. Drain any excess water.
Step 6: Serve the glazed salmon fillets alongside the steamed broccoli, spooning any extra glaze from the pan over the top.
