Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat salmon fillets dry and season both sides with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Place salmon skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy and golden. Flip and cook for 3-4 minutes more until salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, peel and cut carrots into 1/2-inch coins. Cut broccoli into small florets. Toss with 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 tsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp water. Brush half over vegetables on the baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Roast vegetables in the preheated oven at 425°F for 15 minutes until tender with caramelized edges.
  6. Step 6: Remove salmon from skillet and place on a plate. Brush remaining maple-honey glaze over salmon. Top with 2 thinly sliced green onions and serve with roasted vegetables.

How do I store leftover Maple-Glazed Salmon with Honey-Ginger Vegetables?

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 (6 oz each) salmon fillets from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Maple-Glazed Salmon with Honey-Ginger Vegetables?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut).

How do I scale Maple-Glazed Salmon with Honey-Ginger Vegetables 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.
