INSPIRED BY
soy-sesame glazed salmon
Inspired by simple soy-sesame glazes you see on quick broiled salmon, adapted for a hot sheet pan.
Story
Salmon nights used to feel like a project until I leaned into the sheet pan. Broccoli gets those crisp edges while you mix a tiny bowl of glaze, and then dinner basically takes care of itself. I like how the sesame makes the kitchen smell warm and toasty. It is a calm kind of confidence on a busy night.

Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan.
- Toss broccoli with oil, salt, and pepper, roast 8 minutes.
- Whisk soy sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and seeds.
- Push broccoli aside and add salmon to the pan.
- Brush salmon with glaze and roast 10 minutes until just cooked.
- Brush once more, serve salmon with broccoli and any pan juices.
Chef Tips
- Cut broccoli small so it finishes in the same time as the salmon.
- If your salmon pieces are thick, add 2 extra minutes.
- Serve over rice, or keep it light with extra lemon on the side.
Cook's Notes
- Roast broccoli first so it gets color.
- Glaze lightly before baking, then finish with a second brush.
- Do not overcook salmon, pull when it flakes easily.
