A quick, easy, and healthy sheet pan recipe featuring juicy teriyaki-glazed salmon and caramelized broccoli, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on (6 oz / 170 g each)
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (about 300 g)
  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce (120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (30 ml), low sodium optional
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (30 ml)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or neutral cooking oil (15 ml)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Green onions, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss broccoli florets with olive oil and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until smooth.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread broccoli evenly on one side of the pan and place salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side.
  5. Brush salmon generously with the teriyaki glaze, reserving some for later.
  6. Roast in the oven for 12 minutes. After 6 minutes, remove the pan briefly and brush salmon with the reserved glaze.
  7. Check doneness: salmon should flake easily but remain moist; broccoli should be tender with browned edges. If needed, roast 1-2 minutes longer.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

Let salmon rest 5 minutes after cooking to redistribute juices. Use room temperature salmon for even cooking. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure broccoli crisps instead of steams. Brush teriyaki glaze twice for a sticky, flavorful crust. Adjust roasting time if salmon fillets are thicker than 1 inch (2.5 cm).
