  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for roasting broccoli)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional Garnish: Sesame seeds, sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Prepare rice according to package instructions or use pre-cooked rice for convenience. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  3. Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes. Flip the fillets, brush generously with the glaze, and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes, basting occasionally, until cooked through.
  5. Divide rice among plates, top with glazed salmon and roasted broccoli. Drizzle remaining glaze over the dish and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

  • For gluten-free options, substitute tamari for soy sauce.
  • Use cauliflower rice or quinoa instead of traditional rice for a low-carb alternative.
  • Make the glaze ahead of time; store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Swap broccoli for asparagus, zucchini, or green beans based on seasonal availability.
  • Meal prep tip: Store components separately and reheat gently to avoid overcooking the salmon.
