SHEET-PAN SALMON AND BROCCOLI WITH SESAME AND GINGER



Sheet-Pan Salmon and Broccoli With Sesame and Ginger image

A healthy sheet-pan dinner that comes together in just 20 minutes? Sign us up. Brushing a simple sesame-ginger glaze onto the salmon before it roasts promotes caramelization on the fish, a feat not easily accomplished when roasting salmon fillets. The garnishes give this dinner a professional finish: A squeeze of lime juice, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a handful of thinly sliced scallions make for a beautiful plate.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated (about 1 tablespoon)
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 pound broccoli, trimmed and cut into florets, thick stems discarded
2 scallions, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1 1/2-inch segments, plus thinly sliced scallions for garnish
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing the salmon
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
1/2 lime, for serving
Sesame seeds, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons sesame oil with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger and garlic until smooth. Set the glaze aside.
  • Place the broccoli florets and 1 1/2-inch scallion segments on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, toss well and roast for 5 minutes.
  • While the broccoli and scallions roast, place the salmon fillets on a plate and pat dry with paper towels. Brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the broccoli and scallions and move to the edges of the pan, clearing spaces in the center for the salmon fillets. Place the salmon fillets, evenly spaced, on the center of the pan. Brush the fillets generously with the glaze.
  • Return the pan to the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, about 12 minutes.
  • Squeeze the lime over the broccoli and sprinkle with salt. Scatter the sliced scallions and sesame seeds over the salmon, and serve hot.

15-MINUTE BROILED SALMON AND BROCCOLI



15-Minute Broiled Salmon and Broccoli image

This easy sheet tray dinner comes together in a snap thanks to an oft-forgotten workhorse of the kitchen: the broiler. The high heat it provides perfectly chars pre-cut broccoli florets and cooks salmon quickly. The creamy Dijon sauce acts as a protective barrier against overcooking, and keeps the fish moist in the oven.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 12-ounce bag broccoli florets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 scallions
1 medium lemon
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Four 6-ounce center-cut skinless salmon fillets

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler and set a rack 2 inches from the heat.
  • On a large sheet tray lined with aluminum foil, toss the broccoli with the olive oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the broccoli out into a singer layer. Broil the broccoli while you prepare the salmon.
  • Thinly slice the scallions and finely grate the lemon zest, then add them to a small bowl with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
  • Remove the broccoli from the oven. (Parts of the broccoli should be lightly charred.) Use a spatula to stir the broccoli and move it to the outer edges of the baking sheet. Sprinkle each fillet all over with salt and pepper and place them in the center of the baking sheet. Divide the mayonnaise mixture on top of the fillets, spreading to cover. Broil, rotating the pan halfway through, until the sauce has turned deep golden brown and the salmon is opaque, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cut half of the zested lemon into wedges.
  • Divide the salmon, broccoli and lemon wedges among 4 plates and serve immediately.

THE BEST BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR SOUP



The Best Broccoli-Cheddar Soup image

This outstanding broccoli-cheddar soup is rich, cheesy and packed with flavor. We decided to puree just over half the soup which makes it extra thick and creamy, and left the remainder chunky so there are broccoli bits in every bite. Gild the lily with more shredded cheese on top to satisfy your comfort food craving.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 large carrot, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups half and half
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 cups broccoli florets (from about 1 head)
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large russet potato (about 8 ounces)
8 ounces mild yellow Cheddar, shredded (about 2 cups), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes, then gradually whisk in the half-and-half until smooth. Add the chicken broth, broccoli, bay leaves, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and few grinds of black pepper Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the broth has thickened and the broccoli is very tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prick the potato all over with a fork and put on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until tender, flipping halfway through, about 6 minutes. Let cool, then peel. Use a fork or potato masher to mash until crumbly.
  • Reserve 2 cups of the soup in a liquid measuring cup and discard the bay leaves. Let the remaining hot soup cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Add the mashed potato. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until very smooth.
  • Stir the pureed soup and reserved 2 cups of soup back into the pot. Whisk in the cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into serving bowls and top with more shredded Cheddar.

Tips for Cooking Broccoli and Cheddar Salmon

  • Choose fresh, high-quality salmon. Look for salmon that is firm and has a bright orange color. Avoid salmon that is slimy or has a fishy smell.
  • Cook the salmon until it is flaky but not overcooked. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. A good rule of thumb is to cook the salmon for about 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. The cheddar cheese is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Avoid using pre-shredded cheddar cheese, as it doesn't melt as well as freshly shredded cheese.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and lose its flavor. Blanch the broccoli for a few minutes until it is tender-crisp.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep the salmon warm, place it in a warm oven or on a warming plate.

Conclusion

Broccoli and cheddar salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. This dish is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's a great way to get your family to eat more fish. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the broccoli and cheddar sauce is creamy and cheesy. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
