Description
This sheet pan salmon with broccoli is an easy go to weeknight dinner. The flavors of the ginger and orange create a zippy sauce that is delicious on both the salmon and broccoli.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb raw salmon (skin on)
- 2 small heads broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp EVOO or avocado oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 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
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Step: Preheat oven to 425F and prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easier clean up.
- Step: Place the broccoli florets on one end of the sheet pan and toss with the cooking oil and garlic powder.
- Step: Place the salmon filet, skin side down, on the opposite end of the sheet pan and use a knife to cut the filet into four equal servings.
- Step: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, orange, orange zest, garlic, ginger and honey.
- Step: Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce for later, set aside; use the remaining sauce to brush onto the raw salmon filets.
- Step: Cook for 18-20 minutes at 425F.
- Step: Spoon the remaining 1/4 cup of sauce onto the salmon prior to serving and garnish with sesame seeds and diced green onions.
Notes
For an intense orange flavor, cook the salmon with orange slices on top. If using a ‘cutie’ orange, juice the whole thing; for a larger orange, juice half. You can substitute broccoli with asparagus or cauliflower. For a gluten-free option, use coconut aminos in place of soy sauce.
