Sheet-Pan Salmon and Broccoli

Healthy, quick, and a one-pan dinner.
Start to finish: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 T toasted sesame oil
  • 2 T soy sauce
  • 1 T rice vinegar
  • 1 T honey
  • 1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 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 T olive oil, plus more for brushing the salmon
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
  • ½ lime, for serving
  • Sesame seeds, for serving

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons sesame oil with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger and garlic until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Place the broccoli florets and 1 1/2-inch scallion segments on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, toss well and roast for 5 minutes.
  4. While the broccoli and scallions roast, place the salmon fillets on a plate and pat dry. Brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Toss the broccoli and scallions and move to the edges of the pan, clearing spaces in the center for the salmon fillets. Place the salmon fillets, evenly spaced, on the center of the pan. Brush the fillets generously with the glaze.
  6. Return the pan to the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, about 12 minutes.
  7. Squeeze the lime over the broccoli and sprinkle with salt. Scatter the sliced scallions and sesame seeds over the salmon, and serve hot.
