Sheet-Pan Honey-Garlic Salmon with Broccoli and Sesame
Glossy honey-garlic salmon roasted alongside charred broccoli, finished with toasted sesame and a bright squeeze of lime for a 20-minute weeknight win.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets, skin-on
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp green onions, sliced
- 1 whole lime
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment.
- 2
Toss 4 cups broccoli florets with 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, ½ tsp salt and a pinch of pepper; spread on one half of the pan and roast 6 minutes until edges begin to char.
- 3
Meanwhile, whisk 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 tbsp rice vinegar and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil until emulsified.
- 4
Pat 4 salmon fillets (about 150 g each) dry and season lightly with salt.
- 5
Pull the pan from the oven, push broccoli aside, and nestle salmon skin-side down; brush generously with the honey-garlic glaze.
- 6
Return to the oven and roast 8-10 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and the glaze caramelizes at the edges.
- 7
Switch to broil for 60-90 seconds to deepen the lacquer, watching closely so it doesn't scorch.
- 8
Scatter with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 tbsp sliced green onions.
- 9
Squeeze half a lime over the pan and serve immediately with lime wedges alongside.
Chef's tip
Reserve 1 tbsp of glaze before brushing the fish and drizzle it on after roasting — the raw honey and vinegar keep a fresh sharpness that cuts through the caramelized crust.
Suggested pairing
Serve over jasmine rice with a chilled off-dry Riesling or sparkling water with lime.
