A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring crispy teriyaki-glazed salmon and roasted broccoli, perfect for a flavorful and fuss-free weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 ounces / 170 grams each)
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (about 300 grams), trimmed into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce (120 ml), homemade or store-bought
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (30 ml)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on one half of the lined sheet pan.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Lightly brush the skin side with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Arrange salmon on the other half of the sheet pan, skin-side down, leaving space around each piece.
  5. Roast everything for 10 minutes until broccoli starts to soften and brown, and salmon skin begins crisping.
  6. Brush the teriyaki sauce generously over the salmon, avoiding the broccoli. Return the sheet pan to the oven for another 8-10 minutes.
  7. Check for doneness: salmon should flake easily but remain moist; broccoli should be tender with some charred edges.
  8. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the salmon and broccoli before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before roasting for crispy skin. Brush teriyaki sauce halfway through cooking to avoid burning. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting. Rotate sheet pan halfway if your oven cooks unevenly. Leftovers store well for up to 2 days and reheat best in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
