A quick and easy honey soy glazed baked salmon paired with nutty sesame broccoli, perfect for a cozy and delicious dinner that’s ready in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170g each), skin-on or skinless
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw, local preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets (about 4 cups / 300g)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to taste.
  3. Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Brush the glaze generously over each salmon fillet, reserving a little glaze for later.
  5. Toss the broccoli florets in a small bowl with sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, and red pepper flakes if using. Spread the broccoli around the salmon on the baking sheet or in a separate oven-safe dish.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and bubbly, and the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
  7. Optional: Brush the salmon with the reserved glaze 5 minutes before the end of baking and broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven and sprinkle the broccoli with toasted sesame seeds. Let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to ensure the glaze sticks and caramelizes well. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow even cooking and crisping. Toast sesame seeds lightly before sprinkling for extra flavor. If glaze burns too fast, reduce oven temperature or cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. For a stickier finish, brush reserved glaze and broil briefly at the end.
