Instructions

Step 1: Whisk together honey, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic in a small bowl until well combined.
Step 2: Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with 2 tbsp of the sauce. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-14 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Step 3: While salmon bakes, steam broccoli and carrots for 5-6 minutes until crisp-tender. Toss with 1 tsp sesame oil and a pinch of salt.
Step 4: Divide cooked quinoa between four bowls. Top with steamed vegetables and baked salmon.
Step 5: Brush remaining sauce over salmon and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
