Ingredients

• 5 pounds salmon fillets, skin on or off
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• For the Honey Garlic Glaze:
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and ginger powder to make the glaze. Set aside.
3. Place the broccoli florets on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
4. Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet.
5. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the salmon, and season with salt and pepper.
6. Spoon about half of the honey garlic glaze over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the broccoli is tender-crisp. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon.
8. Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven.
9. Drizzle the remaining honey garlic glaze over the salmon and broccoli.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy your quick, delicious meal!
