Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp honey, and 3 minced garlic cloves until smooth and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: On a large sheet pan, toss 4 cups broccoli florets with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper, spreading them evenly. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and push the broccoli to the sides. Place 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) skin-side down in the center and brush each fillet generously with the ginger-sesame sauce.
  4. Step 4: Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for an additional 10-12 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tbsp sesame seeds over the salmon and broccoli before serving for a nutty crunch.
