Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss 3 cups diced sweet potatoes with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast for 15 minutes.
- Step 2: Meanwhile, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 3 minced garlic cloves in a small bowl to create the glaze.
- Step 3: After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet and add 4 cups broccoli florets tossed with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp black pepper to the sheet, stirring the sweet potatoes to even out.
- Step 4: Place 4 salmon fillets on the baking sheet spaced evenly, brush each with the honey-soy glaze, reserving some glaze for later.
- Step 5: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and vegetables are tender.
- Step 6: Brush salmon with remaining glaze, sprinkle 1 tbsp sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions over everything before serving.
