Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 half cup honey
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 3 cups cooked white rice
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season salmon fillets with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Place salmon on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with the honey garlic sauce.
- Toss broccoli with 1 tablespoon olive oil and spread on the same baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
