Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces (170g) each
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (approx. 300g), trimmed and washed
  • ¼ cup (60ml) soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • 12 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Set aside. (5 minutes)
  2. In a separate small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water until smooth. Slowly whisk this slurry into the teriyaki mixture to thicken the glaze. (2 minutes)
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan (about 12 x 17 inches) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. (about 10 minutes)
  4. Toss broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper until evenly coated. Spread broccoli on one side of the lined sheet pan. (5 minutes)
  5. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place skin-side down on the empty side of the sheet pan, spacing them apart. Lightly season with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)
  6. Brush about half of the teriyaki glaze over the salmon fillets generously but not drowning them. Reserve remaining glaze. (3 minutes)
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon is opaque and flakes easily, and broccoli edges are crisp and slightly charred. Thicker fillets may need a few more minutes. (12-15 minutes)
  8. Remove pan and brush reserved glaze over salmon and broccoli. Return to oven for 2-3 minutes to set glaze and add stickiness. (2-3 minutes)
  9. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles if desired. (2 minutes)

Notes

Pat salmon skin dry to ensure crispiness. Apply glaze in two stages to prevent burning. Toss broccoli halfway through roasting if uneven. Use fresh garlic and ginger for best flavor. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated; reheat gently to maintain crispness.
