Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets, skinless (2 to 2½ lbs or 907 to 1134 g total)
- 1½ lbs (680 g) broccolini, lower thirds of stems discarded
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) soy sauce, Kikkoman
- 1½ tbsps (22.5 ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) minced fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) minced garlic (3 cloves)
- 2 tsps (10 ml) toasted sesame oil
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) crushed red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Steamed Basmati Rice
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 400°F with racks evenly spaced to ensure uniform cooking.
- Sauce Creation: Whisk olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for 2 minutes to develop robust flavors. Set aside.
- Salmon Seasoning: Arrange salmon fillets in a baking dish, ensuring separation. Season with salt and pepper, then lavishly coat with the prepared teriyaki sauce, ensuring complete coverage.
- Roasting Process: Position salmon on upper oven rack and cook for 12-14 minutes. Verify doneness by checking for translucent flesh that flakes effortlessly with a fork.
- Broccolini Preparation: Toss broccolini with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan. Distribute in a single layer on the lower oven rack. Roast for 10-12 minutes, rotating midway to achieve optimal crispness.
- Plating: Serve salmon alongside broccolini and basmati rice. Drizzle remaining pan juices over the fish for an elegant, glossy finish.
Notes
- Optimize Salmon Placement: Arrange fillets in a single layer without touching to ensure even cooking and prevent steaming.
- Master Sauce Consistency: Simmer the teriyaki mixture briefly to concentrate flavors and create a more intense, rich glaze.
- Check Salmon Doneness: Look for translucent flesh that flakes easily with a fork, indicating perfect moisture and texture.
- Broccolini Roasting Tip: Spread vegetables in a single layer to achieve crisp edges and prevent soggy, uneven cooking.
