Ingredients

Marinade:

  • ¼ cup Soy sauce, low sodium preferred
  • 4 Tablespoons Maple syrup (or honey)
  • 2 Tablespoon Rice vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Sambal Oelek (or Sriracha, Gojuchang, or similar Asian Chile Paste)
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
  • 1 Tablespoons cilantro, roughly chopped

Protein and Vegetables:

  • 1.5 pounds Salmon Fillets, cut into 5-6-ounce pieces
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
  • 10 ounces asparagus, trimmed
  • 8 ounces broccoli florets
  • 2 Tablespoon Sesame oil, divided
  • 1 Tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and move an oven rack to the top third of the oven.
  • Slice salmon fillets into equal-sized pieces and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wash and trim the asparagus and cut broccoli into florets.
  • In a small bowl whisk together marinade ingredients and set aside. Reserve and set aside about 3 Tablespoons of the marinade.

  • Place the salmon, skin side down, on the same large baking sheet. Pour marinade (except for 3 TBL reserved) over the top of the salmon fillets to cover and coat well.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes (thicker cuts of salmon may require longer). Shake the pan lightly during cooking a few times.
    Halfway through the cooking remove the pan from oven and brush remaining reserved marinade on the salmon
  • The salmon should be lightly roasted (internal temperature of about 145°F), and the asparagus and broccoli should be fork tender.
  • Remove pan from the oven. Let everything rest for 5 minutes on the pan. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and. Serve warm with rice if desired
