SHEET-PAN SALMON AND BROCCOLI WITH SESAME AND GINGER
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.

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.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, prepare all your ingredients and equipment. This will make the cooking process smoother and quicker.
- Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh and firm. Avoid any salmon that is slimy or has an off smell.
- Cook the salmon to your desired doneness: The internal temperature of the salmon should be 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 150°F (66°C) for medium, and 155°F (68°C) for well-done.
- Don't overcook the salmon: Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. It's better to undercook it slightly than to overcook it.
- Make the ginger sesame sauce ahead of time: The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to cook the salmon.
- Serve the salmon with your favorite sides: Some good options include steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
This ginger sesame salmon recipe is a delicious and healthy way to prepare salmon. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the ginger sesame sauce is flavorful and addictive. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
