Ingredients
Scale
Salmon & Vegetables
- 1 lb raw salmon (skin on)
- 2 small heads broccoli florets (or other vegetable of choice)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) or avocado oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Orange Ginger Sauce
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 orange, juiced
- 1/2 orange, zested
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated (or 1/2 tsp dried ginger)
- 2 tbsp honey
Garnish
- Reserved sauce (1/4 cup)
- Sesame seeds
- Diced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil to make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Broccoli: Spread the broccoli florets on one end of the sheet pan. Toss them with the oil and garlic powder ensuring they are well coated.
- Prepare Salmon: Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on the opposite end of the sheet pan. Use a sharp knife to score the salmon into four equal portions, cutting through the flesh without breaking the skin.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, freshly squeezed orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, grated ginger, and honey until well combined.
- Marinate Salmon: Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce for later. Brush the remaining sauce generously over the raw salmon portions.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flaky, and the broccoli is tender.
- Finish and Garnish: After baking, spoon the reserved sauce over the salmon. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and diced green onions before serving for added flavor and crunch.
Notes
- You can substitute broccoli with other vegetables such as asparagus, green beans, or snap peas.
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Use fresh ginger for the best flavor, but dried ginger works in a pinch.
- Make sure not to overcook the salmon; it should be moist and flaky.
- Serve with steamed rice or quinoa to make it a complete meal.
