How to Make Ginger-Sesame Salmon with Roasted Broccoli

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Glaze

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees to get it nice and hot for roasting. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger, and 1 finely grated garlic clove until you have a smooth glaze.

2. Prepare Broccoli and Scallions

On a sheet pan, place the broccoli florets and scallion segments. Drizzle them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, then sprinkle with 0.5 teaspoons of kosher salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly. Slide the pan into the oven and roast for about 5 minutes.

3. Prepare and Add Salmon

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet with a little olive oil and season with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides. Once the initial roasting time is up, toss the vegetables again and push them to the edges of the sheet pan. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the center of the pan. Brush the salmon generously with the ginger-sesame glaze. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 12 minutes.

4. Finish and Serve

When the salmon is done, remove the pan from the oven. Squeeze the juice from 0.5 of a lime over the salmon and vegetables. Sprinkle a bit more salt if needed. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions and a scattering of sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Variations

Protein Swaps

Use chicken thighs, firm tofu, or pork in place of salmon with the same ginger-sesame marinade.

Cuisine Variations

Incorporate lemongrass or kaffir lime for Asian Fusion, or go Mediterranean with olive oil and lemon zest, or Indian with a tandoori spice mix.

Vegetable Swaps

Replace broccoli with cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes.

Marinade/Glaze Variations

Try teriyaki sauce, honey-mustard, or a miso-glaze for a different flavor profile.

Marinade Makeover

Infuse the salmon with flavors like lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, or galangal.
