Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp minced ginger, and 2 cloves minced garlic to make the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Arrange 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on one side of a large rimmed sheet pan. Place 4 cups broccoli florets on the other side. Drizzle 1 tbsp sesame oil over broccoli and season with 1/2 tsp black pepper; toss lightly to coat.
  3. Step 3: Brush the salmon fillets generously with half of the prepared glaze. Reserve the remaining glaze.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Remove the pan and brush the salmon again with the remaining glaze. Stir broccoli and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over it.
  5. Step 5: Return to oven and roast for an additional 3-5 minutes until salmon is cooked through and broccoli is tender-crisp.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven, sprinkle 2 tbsp sliced green onions on top, and serve immediately for a balanced, flavorful meal.
