Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoons toasted (dark) sesame oil

  • 1 ½ tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari

  • 1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

  • ¼ teaspoon salt, divided

  • 8 cups large broccoli florets with 2-inch stalks attached (about 1 pound)

  • 1 tablespoon molasses

  • 1 ¼ pounds wild salmon, cut into 4 portions

  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

  2. Whisk oil, tamari, vinegar, ginger and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add broccoli and toss to coat. Transfer to the prepared pan using tongs or a slotted spoon, leaving as much marinade as possible in the bowl. Whisk molasses into the remaining marinade.

  3. Roast the broccoli for 5 minutes. Move it to one side of the pan and place salmon on the other side. Season the salmon with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and brush with the molasses glaze. Roast until the salmon is just cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes more. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
