Print Recipe

A quick and healthy weeknight recipe featuring salmon and roasted veggies glazed with a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce, all cooked on one sheet pan for minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170g each), skin-on
  • 3 cups broccoli florets (about 300g)
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (60ml), low sodium recommended
  • 3 tablespoons honey (45ml), or maple syrup as substitute
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (5ml), or 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (15ml)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (5ml)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (9g), optional
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15ml)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the teriyaki glaze by whisking together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl until glossy and fragrant.
  2. Toss broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the broccoli and bell pepper in a single layer on one side of a large rimmed sheet pan, leaving space to avoid overcrowding.
  4. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the other half of the sheet pan. Brush each fillet generously with the teriyaki glaze, reserving some glaze for basting later.
  5. Roast the salmon and veggies in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 12–15 minutes, until veggies are tender and slightly browned and salmon flakes easily with a fork. Halfway through, brush the salmon with more glaze.
  6. Remove from oven and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

[‘Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure veggies roast instead of steam.’, ‘Use fresh ginger for best flavor; powdered ginger is a substitute but less vibrant.’, ‘Use skin-on salmon to keep fillets moist and crispy.’, ‘Baste salmon halfway through roasting for a sticky, caramelized glaze.’, ‘Save leftover glaze for drizzling on rice or veggies.’, ‘Check salmon at 12 minutes to avoid overcooking; it should flake easily.’, ‘For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.’, ‘For a spicy kick, add 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes to the glaze.’, ‘Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat gently on stovetop or microwave.’]
