Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, and 2 tsp honey until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place 4 skin-on salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until skin is crisp and golden.
  3. Step 3: Flip the salmon and reduce heat to medium. Brush the tops with half the ginger soy glaze and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until salmon reaches 135°F internally.
  4. Step 4: Remove salmon to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
  5. Step 5: In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp sesame oil and 4 cups broccoli florets. Sauté with 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/2 tsp black pepper for 5 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle remaining ginger soy glaze over broccoli, toss to coat, and cook for 1 more minute.
  7. Step 7: Serve salmon over broccoli, sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions on top.
