A quick and easy recipe featuring crispy skin salmon glazed with a sweet-savory teriyaki sauce, served alongside fresh sautéed broccoli that soaks up the flavorful drippings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each)
  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (15 ml)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (5 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (30 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (5 g)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnishes: toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Lightly season with black pepper. Sprinkle cornstarch evenly over the skin side. Set aside. (Approx. 5 minutes)
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Set aside. (Approx. 3 minutes)
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli florets, season lightly with salt and pepper, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until bright green and slightly tender but still crisp. Remove from pan and set aside. (Approx. 6 minutes)
  4. Add remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet, increase heat to medium-high. Place salmon fillets skin-side down gently in the pan. Press down lightly with a spatula for 10 seconds to prevent curling. Cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until skin is golden brown and crisp. (Approx. 6 minutes)
  5. Carefully flip the salmon and immediately pour the teriyaki glaze over the fillets. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, spooning glaze over the top occasionally until sauce thickens and salmon is cooked through with a tender, flaky texture. (Approx. 4 minutes)
  6. Return cooked broccoli to the pan, toss gently to coat with remaining glaze. Remove from heat. Plate salmon with glazed broccoli on the side. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. (Approx. 2 minutes)

Notes

Pat salmon dry thoroughly to ensure crispy skin. Do not overcrowd the pan to maintain heat and crispiness. Add teriyaki glaze only after flipping salmon to prevent burning. If glaze thickens too quickly, add a splash of water to loosen. For vegan version, substitute salmon with firm tofu or tempeh and honey with maple syrup.
