A quick and healthy sheet pan dinner featuring tender teriyaki-glazed salmon and crisp-tender roasted broccoli, perfect for busy weeknights or relaxed weekends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on if preferred
  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to make the teriyaki glaze. Set aside.
  3. Toss broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and optional red pepper flakes. Spread broccoli evenly on one side of a rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly brush or drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet next to the broccoli, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
  6. Brush the top of each salmon fillet generously with the teriyaki glaze, reserving some for basting later.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and broccoli is tender with caramelized edges.
  8. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for extra caramelization, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Sprinkle sesame seeds over salmon and broccoli before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to ensure caramelization and crisp edges. If broccoli browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. The teriyaki glaze can be prepared up to 3 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator. For a gluten-free option, substitute tamari for soy sauce. For a vegan version, replace salmon with firm tofu or tempeh.
