Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

Juice of 1 lemon

Salt and black pepper to taste

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and lemon juice. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the marinade for later basting.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the majority of the marinade over the salmon, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

      Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

        Prepare the Broccoli: While the salmon marinates, wash and chop the broccoli into florets. Blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

          Assemble on a Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the marinated salmon fillets on one side of the sheet, and place the blanched broccoli on the other side.

            Bake the Salmon and Broccoli: Pour any leftover marinade over the broccoli and season both the salmon and broccoli with salt and black pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the broccoli is tender-crisp.

              Baste and Broil (Optional): If you want extra caramelization on your salmon, switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade halfway through.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and serve immediately with cooked rice or quinoa if desired.
