Sheet-Pan Honey-Garlic Salmon with Broccoli and Sesame

Glossy, gingery salmon roasted alongside charred broccoli florets : sweet, savoury and ready in the time it takes to steam a pot of rice.

25 min4 servingsEasyQuick weeknight

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces skin-on salmon fillets
  • 6 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 stalks green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic and sesame oil until emulsified.

  3. 3

    Toss broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper, then spread on one side of the pan.

  4. 4

    Pat salmon fillets dry, season with salt, and nestle them on the empty side of the pan.

  5. 5

    Brush salmon generously with two-thirds of the honey-garlic glaze, reserving the rest.

  6. 6

    Roast for 10-12 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the broccoli edges are charred and crisp-tender.

  7. 7

    Switch the oven to broil for 1-2 minutes to caramelize the glaze until it turns glossy and lacquered.

  8. 8

    Brush salmon with the reserved glaze, then scatter with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

  9. 9

    Serve immediately over steamed jasmine rice with the pan juices spooned over top.

Chef's tip

Reserve a third of the glaze to brush on after roasting : cooked honey deepens in colour but loses its bright top notes, so the fresh finish keeps the salmon tasting vibrant.

Suggested pairing

Serve with fluffy jasmine rice and a crisp off-dry Riesling to echo the honey and ginger.
