Ingredients

Scale

Glaze

  • 4 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated

Vegetables

  • 1 pound broccoli, trimmed and cut into florets, thick stems discarded
  • 2 scallions, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1 1/2-inch segments, plus thinly sliced scallions for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing the salmon
  • Kosher salt and black pepper

Protein

  • 4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
  • 1/2 lime, for serving
  • Sesame seeds, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and grated garlic until smooth. Set this flavorful glaze aside to use later.
  2. Roast the vegetables: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). On a sheet pan, spread the broccoli florets and 1 1/2-inch scallion segments. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss everything to coat well and roast for 5 minutes to start softening the vegetables.
  3. Prepare the salmon: While the broccoli roasts, pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush them all over with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Arrange and glaze: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and toss the broccoli and scallions, then push them toward the edges of the pan to make room in the center. Place the salmon fillets spaced evenly in the cleared center space. Brush the salmon generously with the prepared sesame-ginger glaze.
  5. Roast the salmon and finish cooking: Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for about 12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, and the vegetables are tender.
  6. Garnish and serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the broccoli and season with additional salt if desired. Scatter the thinly sliced scallions and sesame seeds over the salmon fillets. Serve immediately while hot for a fresh and flavorful meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute tamari for soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets to avoid overcooking.
  • For extra crunch, toast additional sesame seeds and sprinkle them on top just before serving.
  • If you prefer more heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily using a larger sheet pan or roasting in batches.
