Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 1 lb raw salmon (skin on)
- 2 small heads broccoli florets (or other vegetable of choice)
Marinade and Seasoning
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) or avocado oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 orange, juiced
- ½ orange, zested
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tbsp fresh ginger, grated (or ½ tsp dried ginger)
- 2 tbsp honey
Garnish
- Reserved sauce (¼ cup)
- Sesame seeds
- Green onions, diced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil to ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Broccoli: Place the broccoli florets on one end of the sheet pan. Toss them with the cooking oil and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Prepare Salmon: Place the salmon fillet skin side down on the opposite end of the sheet pan. Use a knife to score and partially cut the fillet into four equal servings without cutting through the skin to allow even cooking and easier serving.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, grated ginger, and honey until well combined.
- Marinate Salmon: Reserve ¼ cup of the sauce for garnishing later. Brush the remaining sauce generously onto the raw salmon fillets to coat them well.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, until salmon is cooked through and broccoli is tender and slightly caramelized.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooked, spoon the reserved ¼ cup of sauce over the salmon fillets. Garnish with sesame seeds and diced green onions for a burst of flavor and texture. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute broccoli with other vegetables like asparagus, green beans, or Brussels sprouts.
- Make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
- For an extra kick, add some red pepper flakes to the sauce before brushing on the salmon.
- Use fresh ginger for more vibrant flavor, but dried ginger works as a convenient substitute.
- Adjust honey quantity based on desired sweetness.
