- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each) - 2 cups broccoli florets - 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced For this dish, salmon is the star. It’s rich in flavor and healthy fats. Broccoli adds a nice crunch and is packed with nutrients. The red bell pepper brings sweetness and color to the plate. - 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce - 2 tablespoons honey - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar The teriyaki sauce makes this dish shine. Soy sauce gives it depth. Honey adds sweetness, while rice vinegar balances the flavors. Together, they create a tasty glaze for the salmon and veggies. - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 1 teaspoon minced garlic - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds - 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish) Olive oil helps the veggies roast nicely. Garlic and ginger add a warm, fragrant touch. Sesame seeds give a nice crunch, and green onions brighten the dish. This mix of flavors makes every bite exciting. First, set your oven to 400°F (200°C). This heat helps cook the salmon and veggies just right. Next, grab a large baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. This step makes cleanup easier and keeps food from sticking. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Use a whisk to mix these ingredients well. This sauce is sweet and savory, perfect for your salmon. Now it’s time to arrange the food. Place the salmon fillets on one side of your baking sheet. Season them lightly with salt and pepper. Brush half of your teriyaki sauce over the salmon. For the veggies, take the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are coated. Spread the veggies on the other side of the baking sheet. Make sure they sit in a single layer. This helps them roast evenly. Place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on the salmon; it should flake easily with a fork when done. The veggies should be tender and a bit charred. For a finishing touch, drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce over the salmon and veggies in the last 5 minutes of baking. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added flavor and crunch. To adjust sweetness and saltiness in your teriyaki sauce, start with the basics. Use low-sodium soy sauce to keep it balanced. If it tastes too salty, add more honey. Honey adds a natural sweetness. Mix well until combined. You can taste as you go. This way, you find the right balance for your dish. For even cooking, layer your salmon and veggies wisely. Place salmon fillets on one side of the sheet. Arrange broccoli and bell peppers on the other side. Keep them in a single layer. This allows hot air to circulate. It helps everything cook evenly. Toss the veggies well with olive oil, salt, and pepper before placing them. This will enhance their flavor. For a complete meal, think about sides. Steamed rice or quinoa pairs well with teriyaki salmon. You can also serve a fresh salad on the side. Add some sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top. They add a nice crunch and color. Enjoy your dish with a side of pickled ginger for extra zest! {{image_2}} If you want to switch up the fish, you have great options. Try using cod, trout, or even tilapia. These fish have a mild taste and cook well like salmon. Cod offers a flaky texture, while trout provides a rich flavor. Tilapia is light and absorbs flavors nicely. These options keep your meal fresh and exciting. You can change the veggies to suit your taste. Asparagus, green beans, or bell peppers work well. Asparagus adds a nice crunch, while green beans bring a sweet and earthy taste. You can also use zucchini or snap peas for a different twist. Mixing different colors makes your dish more vibrant and fun. Feel free to get creative with the teriyaki sauce. You might add some pineapple juice for extra sweetness. If you like heat, a bit of sriracha gives it a kick. You can also try adding sesame oil for a nutty flavor. Mixing in some brown sugar can enhance the sweetness even more. These tweaks let you customize your meal to fit your mood. To keep your teriyaki salmon and broccoli fresh, store leftovers in an airtight container. Place the salmon and veggies together or separately, based on your preference. Refrigerate within two hours of cooking. This helps prevent bacteria growth. The dish stays tasty in the fridge for up to three days. When ready to eat, simply reheat in the microwave or oven. To freeze, wrap the salmon and veggies tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Remove as much air as possible. This method keeps your dish fresh up to three months. When you want to reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge. Use the oven or microwave to warm it back up. Ensure the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for safety. In the fridge, teriyaki salmon and broccoli lasts about three days. In the freezer, it maintains quality for about three months. After this, the texture may change, but it remains safe to eat. Always check for signs of spoilage, like off smells or discoloration, before consuming. Cooking teriyaki salmon and broccoli takes about 25 minutes. This includes 10 minutes for prep and 15 minutes for baking. I recommend checking the salmon at the 15-minute mark. When it flakes easily with a fork, it is ready. The broccoli should be tender and slightly charred. Yes, you can make this recipe in advance. You can prep the salmon and veggies a few hours ahead. Store them in the fridge until you are ready to bake. The teriyaki sauce can also be made ahead. Just keep it in a sealed container. It stays fresh in the fridge for up to a week.

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until completely combined. This will be your teriyaki sauce.

      Place the salmon fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet and season them with salt and pepper. Brush half of the teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets.

        In a mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.

          Arrange the veggies on the other side of the baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.

            Bake the salmon and vegetables in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

              In the last 5 minutes of baking, drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce over the salmon and vegetables for extra flavor, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

                Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
