A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring crispy salmon with a sweet-savory teriyaki glaze and roasted broccoli, perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets: Skin-on, about 6 ounces (170 grams) each
  • Broccoli florets: About 4 cups (roughly 300 grams), trimmed
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Soy sauce: 1/4 cup (60 ml), preferably low sodium
  • Honey: 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Fresh ginger: 1 teaspoon, grated (or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • Rice vinegar: 1 tablespoon
  • Sesame oil: 1 teaspoon (optional)
  • Sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon, toasted
  • Green onions: 2 stalks, thinly sliced
  • Salt and black pepper: To taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Set aside.
  3. Toss 4 cups broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the broccoli on one side of a parchment-lined sheet pan in a single layer.
  5. Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
  6. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the empty side of the sheet pan and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  7. Brush a generous amount of the teriyaki glaze over the salmon, reserving a few tablespoons for later.
  8. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until broccoli is tender with caramelized edges and salmon flakes easily with a fork. (Check for internal temperature of 145°F/63°C if using a thermometer.)
  9. During the last 2 minutes, brush salmon with the remaining glaze for an extra glossy finish. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes for crispier skin, watching closely to avoid burning.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
  11. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat salmon skin dry thoroughly for crispy skin. Toss broccoli halfway through cooking if it cooks faster than salmon. Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crispiness but watch carefully to avoid burning. The teriyaki glaze can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. For vegan glaze, substitute honey with maple syrup. Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat.
