A quick and easy meal prep recipe featuring salmon glazed with homemade teriyaki sauce and roasted broccoli, perfect for healthy lunches that are flavorful and nutritious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or skinless
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (about 300 g), chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (3 g) cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced thinly

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil if using. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
  3. Mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Slowly whisk this slurry into the simmering sauce. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Toss broccoli florets with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread evenly on one side of the baking sheet.
  5. Place salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the teriyaki sauce.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and broccoli is tender but still crisp. For skin-on fillets, broil for the last 1-2 minutes to crisp the skin if desired.
  7. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over salmon and broccoli as soon as it’s out of the oven.
  8. Divide salmon and broccoli evenly into meal prep containers. Drizzle extra teriyaki sauce on top before sealing if desired.

Notes

Let salmon come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking. Save some teriyaki sauce for drizzling at serving time. Cut broccoli florets to similar sizes for even roasting. If broccoli browns too fast, loosely cover with foil halfway through baking. Watch salmon closely to avoid overcooking; flaky but moist is ideal.
