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.

SESAME BROCCOLI, REALLY..IT'S GOOD!



Sesame Broccoli, Really..it's Good! image

The dish is a nice and easy change from the norm, and quite different from some of the other broccoli recipes I have seen here. Try it, you might like it as much as we do! Due to a great suggestion from a reviewer, I have added toasting the sesame seeds, a marvelous idea! Also, PLEASE don't substitute the sesame oil as one review did here, you loose the entire flavor of this great dish! This is an adopted recipe and the above comments were made before I inherited it. Now having made this dish, I can concurr: it's a sesame oil that turns your head and gets your taste buds going in this recipe, and toasting the seeds also adds fuller flavour. I'm delighted to have adopted this recipe and will be making it often:) I hope that you will enjoy it too!

BROCCOLI SALAD WITH GARLIC AND SESAME



Broccoli Salad With Garlic and Sesame image

From Melissa Clark in the *New York Times,* who writes: "This salad is made from uncooked broccoli tossed with an assertive garlic, sesame, chile and cumin-seed vinaigrette slicked with good extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. The acid 'cooks' the florets a little as ceviche does fish. After an hour, the broccoli softens as if blanched, turning bright emerald, and soaking up all the intense flavors of the dressing. You'll be making this one again."

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 bunch broccoli (about 1/2 pound)
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 bunch spinach (about 1 pound)
2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil

Steps:

  • Cut broccoli into 1-inch flowerets and cut stems lengthwise into 2 x 1/4-inch sticks. Mince garlic. In a dry 10-inch heavy skillet toast sesame seeds over moderate heat, stirring, until golden and transfer to a small bowl. In skillet heat vegetable oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook broccoli, garlic, and red pepper flakes, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is crisp-tender, about 7 minutes. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and toss vegetables with sesame oil, seeds, and salt to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli before stir-frying helps to retain its vibrant color and slightly softens it, reducing the cooking time.
  • Use a hot wok or large skillet: A hot wok or large skillet helps to quickly sear the broccoli and sauce, preventing it from becoming soggy.
  • Stir-fry the broccoli in batches: If you're cooking a large amount of broccoli, stir-fry it in batches to prevent overcrowding the wok or skillet, which can result in uneven cooking.
  • Use a good quality sesame oil: Sesame oil adds a nutty flavor to the dish. Choose a good quality sesame oil that is dark in color and has a strong aroma.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process helps to prevent the broccoli from becoming overcooked and soggy.

Conclusion:

Sesame broccoli is a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and can be enjoyed as part of a main meal or as a snack. With its vibrant color, slightly crunchy texture, and delicious sesame flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. Whether you are a seasoned home cook or just starting out, this recipe is simple to follow and will yield delicious results.
