Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz each), skin-on Salmon fillets
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp, grated Fresh ginger
- 1 clove, minced Garlic
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 large head, cut into florets Broccoli
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat 4 salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp sesame oil to make the glaze.
- Step 2: Place salmon skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush half the glaze over the top of each fillet, then place broccoli florets around the salmon. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Step 3: Bake for 12-14 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the remaining glaze over the salmon.
- Step 4: While salmon bakes, heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds.
- Step 5: Serve salmon fillets topped with roasted broccoli, drizzling any pan juices over the top, and a final sprinkle of sesame seeds.
