25 min4 servingsEasyQuick weeknight

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces (150 g each) salmon fillets, skin-on
  • 6 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame 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

    Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic until the honey dissolves into a smooth glaze.

  3. 3

    Toss the broccoli florets with 1 tbsp of the sesame oil and a pinch of salt, then spread them on one half of the sheet pan.

  4. 4

    Roast the broccoli alone for 6 minutes, until the edges begin to char and crisp.

  5. 5

    Pat the salmon fillets dry, brush generously with two-thirds of the glaze, and nestle them onto the empty side of the pan.

  6. 6

    Return to the oven and roast for 9-11 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches 125°F (52°C) at its thickest point.

  7. 7

    Drizzle the remaining glaze over the hot salmon and broccoli so it sizzles and caramelizes on contact.

  8. 8

    Scatter with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a final drizzle of the remaining sesame oil before serving.

Chef's tip

Pull the salmon a couple of degrees early : carryover heat will finish cooking it on the hot pan, keeping the centre silky and just-set rather than dry.

Suggested pairing

Serve over fluffy jasmine rice with a chilled off-dry Riesling or sparkling water with lime.
