A quick and delicious glazed salmon recipe paired with crisp-tender steamed broccoli, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), fresh or thawed
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets (about 4 cups / 300 g)
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) sesame oil
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
  • 2 green onions, sliced thin (optional)
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Steam for about 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender and bright green. Avoid overcooking. Set aside and lightly season with salt.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving until skin is crispy and golden. Flip and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the pan around the salmon. Stir the cornstarch slurry and drizzle it into the pan. Tilt the pan and spoon the sauce over the salmon to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  6. Add steamed broccoli to the skillet, tossing gently to coat with the glaze. Warm through for 1 minute.
  7. Remove from heat. Sprinkle sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the top. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles if desired.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking for crispy skin. Use low heat if glaze thickens too fast. Splash water to loosen glaze if needed. Avoid overcrowding pan for best sear. Steaming broccoli 4-5 minutes keeps it crisp-tender.
