Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets and season evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Step 2: Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook 3 more minutes until just cooked through. Remove salmon and keep warm.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Add 4 cups broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring to coat with the sauce. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil over broccoli, sprinkle 1 tbsp sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions on top. Serve salmon fillets over the broccoli stir-fry and spoon extra sauce from the pan over the fish.

How do I store leftover Honey-Soy Glazed Salmon with Sesame Broccoli Stir-Fry?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep salt from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Honey-Soy Glazed Salmon with Sesame Broccoli Stir-Fry?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Honey-Soy Glazed Salmon with Sesame Broccoli Stir-Fry for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
