A quick and flavorful meal prep recipe featuring broiled teriyaki-glazed salmon and steamed broccoli, perfect for busy weeknights and healthy eating.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on or skinless (about 6 ounces / 170 grams each)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce, low sodium recommended
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water
  • 4 cups (about 300 grams) broccoli florets, fresh
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until honey dissolves.
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the lined baking sheet.
  4. Brush a generous layer of the teriyaki sauce over each salmon fillet.
  5. Bake the salmon for 12 minutes, watching closely to ensure it flakes easily but remains moist.
  6. While salmon bakes, pour remaining teriyaki sauce into a small saucepan. Stir in cornstarch mixture and heat over medium-low, stirring constantly until thickened (2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
  7. Steam broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  8. Brush the thickened teriyaki glaze over the baked salmon fillets for a sticky shine.
  9. Garnish salmon with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with steamed broccoli or pack into meal prep containers.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to help sauce stick and caramelize better. Watch salmon closely after 10 minutes to avoid overcooking. Steam broccoli until just tender-crisp to maintain vibrant color and texture. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Reheat gently to avoid drying out salmon.
