Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp fresh orange juice, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 2 minced garlic cloves until honey dissolves.
2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 cups broccoli florets and 2 tsp sesame oil, tossing to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-7 minutes until broccoli is tender and slightly charred. Remove broccoli from skillet and keep warm.
3. Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet and place 4 skin-on salmon fillets, skin side down, in the pan. Cook for 5 minutes without moving until skin is crisp.
4. Step 4: Flip the salmon fillets and immediately spoon half of the citrus soy glaze over the tops. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes until salmon is cooked through and glaze thickens slightly.
5. Step 5: Plate salmon over the sesame broccoli, drizzle with remaining glaze, and sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Serve immediately.
