Print Recipe

A quick and easy weeknight dinner featuring flaky salmon and crispy roasted broccoli coated in a sweet and savory teriyaki glaze, all cooked on one sheet pan for minimal mess.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on if desired (about 6 oz / 170 g each)
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (about 300 g), trimmed and washed
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (60 ml), low sodium preferred
  • 3 tablespoons honey (60 ml)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated (or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (15 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (15 ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (5 ml) mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to fully warm up (about 10-15 minutes).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes if using until honey dissolves and flavors meld.
  3. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth, then stir into the glaze mixture to thicken the sauce.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and trim broccoli into bite-sized florets. Toss broccoli lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon fillets skin-side down spaced evenly on the sheet. Scatter broccoli florets around the salmon in a single layer.
  6. Brush the teriyaki glaze generously over the salmon and broccoli, reserving a small amount for serving if desired.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and broccoli has browned tips. For extra caramelization, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven, drizzle any leftover glaze over the dish, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  9. Serve immediately with steamed rice, quinoa, or your preferred side.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the broccoli. Pat salmon dry for crispy skin. Use fresh garlic and ginger for best flavor. The cornstarch slurry thickens the glaze; don’t skip it unless you want a thinner sauce. Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for caramelization but watch carefully to prevent burning. Leftover glaze can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and used as a dipping sauce or drizzle. For gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce and almond flour for cornstarch. Variations include adding sriracha for spice or swapping broccoli for other vegetables like asparagus or snap peas.
