Sheet Pan Asian Salmon and Broccoli
This Sheet Pan Asian Salmon and Broccoli recipe features a skin-on salmon fillet baked alongside broccoli florets, all coated with a flavorful honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, and rice vinegar glaze. The result is tender salmon with a sweet-and-spicy savory sauce and crisp-tender broccoli that absorbs the salmon's juices. The sheet pan method simplifies cooking and cleanup while promoting caramelization and balanced textures.
Ingredients
- 1.50 pound salmon fillet skin-on
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 to 4 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce use certified GF if this is important to you, reduced-sodium lite
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce (I use a heaping tablespoon, reduce to taste for less heat)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (another vinegar may be substituted)
- cilantro optional for garnishing, fresh
- salt optional if desired, to taste
- black pepper optional if desired, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F (use convection if you have it), line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup (highly recommended), spray with cooking spray, place the salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet, and nestle the broccoli directly around it, evenly spaced; set aside.
- To a small bowl, add all remaining ingredients (except cilantro), and slowly spoon most of the mixture over the salmon, and just dot the broccoli with the sauce. It will absorb the runoff sauce from the salmon so no need to put much sauce on it from the outset.
- Bake for 375F for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until salmon is nearly done.
- Turn Broiler to High, and broil for 3 to 5 minutes to finish cooking.
- Alternatively, if you're not comfortable broiling, simply continue baking the salmon for a few extra minutes, or until done; don't overcook or the salmon will be dry and the broccoli will burn.
- Optionally garnish with cilantro, add salt and pepper if desired to taste, and serve immediately.
Notes
- When broiling, watch carefully to prevent burning from the honey-based glaze.
- Cooking times vary with salmon thickness; rely on doneness cues rather than time alone.
- Use foil-lined baking sheet for easier cleanup.
- Leftovers can be stored airtight in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
