Ingredients
  

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

For the Salmon and Broccoli Bake:

4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)

2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving (optional)

Lemon wedges, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 3-5 minutes or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

      Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper until fully coated. Spread the broccoli evenly on one side of a baking sheet.

        Arrange the Salmon: On the other side of the baking sheet, place the salmon fillets. Pour half of the honey garlic sauce over the salmon, reserving the rest for later.

          Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy.

            Baste and Finish: After 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet and baste the salmon with some of the reserved honey garlic sauce. Return it to the oven and continue baking for the remaining time.

              Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and drizzle the remaining sauce over the salmon and broccoli. Serve with cooked rice or quinoa if desired, and garnish with lemon wedges.
