To achieve the perfect salmon, understanding doneness is crucial. Salmon is best when cooked to medium, which means it should be opaque and flake easily with a fork while still being juicy. The internal temperature of perfectly cooked salmon should reach 125°F (51°C) for medium. If you prefer your salmon more well-done, aim for an internal temperature of around 145°F (63°C).

Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on

3 cups broccoli florets

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for broccoli

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, chopped (for optional garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, and sesame oil. Whisk the ingredients together until fully blended. This mixture will serve as both a flavorful marinade and glaze for the salmon.

      Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or zip-lock bag. Pour half of the prepared marinade over the fillets, ensuring that each one is well coated. Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors.

        Prepare the Broccoli: While the salmon is marinating, take the broccoli florets and toss them in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the seasoned broccoli evenly on one side of a large baking sheet.

          Add Salmon to the Baking Sheet: Once the salmon has marinated, remove it from the marinade and arrange the fillets skin-side down on the opposite side of the baking sheet, next to the broccoli.

            Bake: Pour the remaining marinade over both the salmon and broccoli on the baking sheet. Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork, while the broccoli turns tender and vibrant.

              Garnish and Serve: After baking, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Finish the dish by sprinkling sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the salmon and broccoli. Serve immediately, accompanied by lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.

                  Presentation Tips: For an elegant touch, arrange the salmon fillets and broccoli on a large platter. Drizzle any excess glaze from the baking sheet over the top, and visually enhance with vibrant lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh green onions.
