Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 oz (170 g) each
  • Broccoli florets, fresh, about 4 cups (300 g), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Soy sauce, 1/4 cup (60 ml), low-sodium
  • Honey, 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
  • Garlic, 2 cloves, minced
  • Rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
  • Sesame oil, 1 teaspoon (5 ml), optional
  • Ground ginger or fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon (1 g), grated or ground
  • Cornstarch, 1 teaspoon (3 g)
  • Water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) for cornstarch slurry
  • Olive oil or avocado oil, 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the teriyaki glaze: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  3. Mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry, then whisk into the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
  4. Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a lined sheet pan, leaving space for the salmon.
  5. Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place skin-side down on the sheet pan next to the broccoli.
  6. Brush the top of each salmon fillet generously with the teriyaki glaze, reserving some glaze for serving.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon is opaque and flakes easily, and broccoli is tender with crispy edges. Check broccoli at 10 minutes if florets are small.
  8. Optionally, brush salmon again with reserved glaze after removing from oven for extra shine and flavor.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before seasoning to ensure crispy skin. Do not flip salmon during cooking. Avoid overcrowding broccoli to prevent sogginess. The teriyaki sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. For vegan or gluten-free variations, substitute salmon with tofu or tempeh and soy sauce with tamari, and honey with maple syrup.
