Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 1/2 lb salmon fillets
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce, low-sodium [for marinade]
- 2 sesame oil
- 2 sesame seeds
- 1/4 tsp salt, to taste
Directions
Prep
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
Make
- While the salmon is marinating, wash the broccoli florets and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the broccoli and a pinch of salt. Sauté the broccoli until it is crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes, adding water as needed. Keep it warm while you cook the salmon.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade (discard the marinade – about 25% of the marinade will be absorbed and is accounted for in the nutrition facts). Heat the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on the skin side, until the skin is crispy.
- Carefully flip the salmon fillets to the other side. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the salmon to cook through, about 3-4 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Place the cooked salmon on a plate, alongside the sautéed broccoli. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the salmon for garnish.
