Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 ounces (170 g) each
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) teriyaki sauce (preferably low-sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cups (150 g) broccoli florets
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, cut into thin sticks
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, toasted)
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced thin
  • 1/2 lemon, sliced thin (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, toss broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and carrot sticks with olive oil, minced garlic, and half of the teriyaki sauce (about 2 tablespoons or 30 ml). Spread evenly on a parchment-lined sheet pan in a single layer.
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet generously with the remaining teriyaki sauce (about 2 tablespoons or 30 ml), coating the skin side well.
  4. Place salmon skin-side down on the sheet pan nestled among the veggies.
  5. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on fillet thickness, until salmon flakes easily and skin is crispy and caramelized. Veggies should be tender with some charred edges.
  6. Remove from oven and sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over salmon and veggies.
  7. Serve with thin lemon slices or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.

Notes

Pat salmon skin dry to ensure crispiness. Use a balanced teriyaki sauce to avoid burning. Do not overcrowd the pan for best caramelization. For thick salmon fillets (over 1.5 inches), roast veggies 5 minutes before adding salmon. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet to maintain crispy skin.
