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).
