A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy skin salmon glazed with teriyaki sauce and roasted broccoli, perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 ounces (170 grams) each
  • 3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen), about 300 grams
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Freshly cracked ground black pepper, to taste
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Thinly sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss 3 cups (300 grams) of broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper until lightly coated.
  3. Arrange the broccoli on one side of a rimmed sheet pan in a single layer.
  4. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet with a thin layer of olive oil and season lightly with black pepper.
  5. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side of the sheet pan, leaving space between pieces.
  6. Brush each fillet generously with about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of teriyaki sauce, reserving some for serving.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Check at 12 minutes for doneness; salmon should flake easily and broccoli should be tender with some charred edges.
  8. For crispier skin, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow juices to redistribute and glaze to set.
  10. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately with extra teriyaki sauce on the side.

Notes

Pat salmon dry to ensure crispy skin. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming broccoli. Watch broiler closely to prevent burning. Bring salmon to room temperature before cooking for even doneness. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat in oven to maintain crispiness.
