Ingredients
- 4 pieces, 6 oz each salmon fillets
- 3 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tbsp, grated fresh ginger
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2, sliced thin green onions
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated ginger until combined and fragrant. Place 4 salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet and brush generously with the honey-soy glaze. Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon is cooked through and glaze is caramelized.
- Step 2: While the salmon bakes, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Step 3: Remove broccoli from heat and toss with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions for a nutty aroma and fresh finish. Serve the glazed salmon over the sesame broccoli, spooning any extra glaze from the pan over the top.
