Ingredients
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
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
1 orange, juiced
½ orange, zested
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tbsp fresh ginger, grated (or ½ tsp dried ginger)
2 tbsp honey
Garnish: Reserved sauce, sesame seeds, and green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.
- Place the broccoli florets on one end of the sheet pan and toss with the cooking oil and garlic powder.
- Place the salmon filet, skin side down, on the opposite end of the sheet pan and cut the filet into four equal portions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, orange juice, orange zest, garlic, ginger, and honey.
- Reserve ¼ cup of the sauce for later, then brush the remaining sauce over the raw salmon.
- Cook for 18-20 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
- After cooking, transfer the salmon to a plate and spoon the reserved sauce over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds and diced green onions.
Notes
- For a stronger orange flavor, add orange slices directly on top of the salmon before baking.
- You can swap broccoli with vegetables like asparagus, cauliflower, or cubed sweet potato.
- Substitute ground ginger for fresh if needed (½ tsp ground ginger for ½ tbsp fresh).
