Ingredients
Scale
- 1 salmon fillet
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar (optional)
- 1 tsp black sesame seeds
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and sliced into wedges
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the sweet potato wedges in olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper until well-coated and spread them evenly on a baking tray. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are crispy on the edges.
- In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, and optional rice vinegar to create your glaze. Place the salmon fillet on a separate baking tray, brush the glaze over the salmon, and sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Bake for about 12-15 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
- Place broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for about 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and tender.
- Plate your beautifully glazed salmon alongside crispy sweet potato wedges and steamed broccoli. Drizzle any extra glaze over everything if desired.
