- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each) - 2 cups broccoli florets - 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce - 2 tablespoons honey - 2 tablespoons sesame oil - 2 teaspoons minced garlic - 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional) - Green onions, sliced (for garnish) To make Sheet Pan Teriyaki Salmon and Broccoli, gather your ingredients first. You need four salmon fillets, each weighing about six ounces. This fish is rich in healthy fats and protein. Next, grab two cups of broccoli florets. Fresh broccoli adds crunch and nutrients. For the teriyaki sauce, you'll need a quarter cup of store-bought or homemade sauce. This sauce gives a sweet and savory flavor. Add two tablespoons of honey for extra sweetness. Then, use two tablespoons of sesame oil for a nutty taste. Don't forget the seasonings. You need two teaspoons of minced garlic and one teaspoon of grated fresh ginger. Both add depth to your dish. Lastly, if you like, sprinkle one tablespoon of sesame seeds on top for texture. Sliced green onions make a great garnish, adding color and taste. Now you have all the ingredients ready to create a simple, delicious meal! - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step is key. Preheating ensures even cooking. The parchment paper helps with easy cleanup. It's a simple but important start to your meal. - Whisk together teriyaki sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Mix these ingredients in a bowl. The teriyaki sauce adds flavor. Honey brings sweetness. Sesame oil adds a nutty taste. Garlic and ginger give it a nice kick. Whisk until smooth for the best mix. - Place the salmon fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet and the broccoli florets on the other side. - Drizzle half of the teriyaki mixture over the salmon and the other half over the broccoli. Toss the broccoli to ensure it is evenly coated. Arrange the salmon and broccoli on the sheet. This helps with even cooking. Drizzle the teriyaki mix, making sure all the broccoli is coated. This adds flavor to every bite. - Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy. - If desired, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes to give the salmon a nice char. Baking at 400°F cooks everything just right. The salmon should be flaky and the broccoli should be crisp. Broiling gives a nice char, but watch it closely to avoid burning. This step adds flavor and visual appeal. To check if salmon is cooked, look for the color change. Cooked salmon goes from dark pink to a light, opaque color. You can also use a fork to flake it gently. If it breaks apart easily, it’s done. For flaky salmon, avoid overcooking. Bake it for 12-15 minutes at 400°F. If you want a nice char, switch to broil for the last few minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. To ensure broccoli is crispy, toss it in the teriyaki sauce. This helps coat each piece for even cooking. Bake it alongside the salmon, but check for doneness. You want it tender but still with a bite. Avoid overcooking by setting a timer. Broccoli cooks quickly and can turn mushy if left too long. Aim for about 12-15 minutes, just like the salmon. For sides, serve the salmon and broccoli over rice or quinoa. Both options soak up the teriyaki sauce well. They add a nice base to the meal. For garnish, sprinkle sliced green onions on top. This adds color and a fresh taste. You can also add sesame seeds for crunch. Enjoy your dish while it’s hot! {{image_2}} You can switch out salmon for other fish. Tilapia is a nice choice. It cooks fast and has a mild taste. Cod is another great option. It’s a bit firmer and still pairs well with teriyaki sauce. Feel free to experiment with other fish like trout or halibut. Each fish has its own flavor, making your meal unique. Broccoli shines in this dish, but other veggies work too. Asparagus gives a fresh crunch. Snap peas add a sweet bite. Bell peppers bring color and flavor. You can also try zucchini or carrots. These vegetables soak up the teriyaki sauce nicely. Mix and match to find your favorite combo. You can make teriyaki sauce at home easily. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Add garlic and ginger for extra flavor. If you want a twist, try adding orange juice. This gives a sweet and tangy taste. You can also use store-bought sauces. Look for ones with low sodium for a healthier option. To keep your salmon and broccoli fresh, store them properly. Place the leftovers in an airtight container. This helps prevent moisture loss and keeps flavors intact. You can store salmon and broccoli together or separately. Make sure to let them cool before sealing the container. This method keeps the meal safe for up to three days in the fridge. Reheating your meal is simple. For best results, use the oven. Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Place the salmon and broccoli on a baking sheet. Heat for about 10 minutes. This helps maintain the texture of both. If you prefer, you can also use the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals until warmed through. Be careful not to overcook them, as this can make the salmon dry. Yes, you can freeze cooked salmon and broccoli! To do this, cool the food completely. Then, wrap the salmon and broccoli in plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil. This helps prevent freezer burn. You can store them in the freezer for up to three months. When you are ready to eat, thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat as mentioned above for the best texture. Cooking salmon in the oven takes about 12 to 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C). If your salmon is thicker than 1 inch, it may need a few extra minutes. Always check if the fish flakes easily with a fork. This ensures it is cooked through but still juicy. Yes, you can prepare this meal ahead of time. Marinate the salmon and broccoli in the teriyaki sauce for a few hours or overnight. This adds great flavor. When ready to cook, just pop it in the oven. For reheating, use the oven to keep it crispy, not the microwave. Many store-bought teriyaki sauces contain soy sauce, which has gluten. To make this dish gluten-free, look for tamari sauce or gluten-free soy sauce. You can also make your own teriyaki sauce at home using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. You can use frozen broccoli, but it will change the cooking time. Frozen broccoli usually needs a bit longer to cook. It may also become softer, so keep an eye on it. Aim for tender but still slightly crisp broccoli for the best texture.
