    How to Make Easy Sheet Pan Asian Salmon

    This recipe takes only 20 minutes to make (easily done while the rice cooks). The salmon is perfectly flaky, the broccoli is tender, and all flavored with the slightly sweet teriyaki sauce.

    What You'll Need for this Sheet Pan Salmon Dinner:

    • Salmon
    • Fresh Broccoli Florets
    • Olive Oil
    • Easy Asian Teriyaki Sauce: Soy Sauce, Honey, Sesame Oil, Chili Garlic Sauce, Rice Vinegar, and Red Pepper Flakes
    • Rice - for serving
    • Green Onions and Sesame Seeds - optional, for serving

    Recipe Step by Step:

    1. Cook the Rice.
    2. Meanwhile, Mix up the Sauce.
    3. Add Broccoli and Salmon to a Sheet Pan and Drizzle with Sauce
    4. Serve and Enjoy

    Tips and FAQs!

    Can it be prepped in advance?

    Definitely! You could chop and prep the broccoli florets and mix up the sauce in advance (store in the fridge). Then just load onto the sheet pan with salmon and bake.

    Can this recipe be doubled to make 4 servings?

    Absolutely! No changes need to be made for doubling - just use a regular sized sheet pan (pictured is a half sheet size).

    How long do the leftovers last?

    Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.

    Can I substitute store-bought teriyaki sauce for the homemade?

    Yes! This is a great way to make this weeknight dinner even faster!

    Is the Asian sauce spicy?

    The Asian-inspired teriyaki sauce is mild. It does use chili garlic sauce which is a spicy ingredient, but the amount is small.

    If you like spice, you can easily add more!

    Tip! Line your sheet pan with foil.

    How do you tell when salmon is cooked?

    When salmon is done, it will be opaque and light pink. It will also easily flake with a fork. Overcooked salmon can be dry.

    If you're new to cooking salmon, I recommend removing it from the oven at the low end of the cook time, checking for doneness, and then returning. This will help avoid overcooking.

    Other Quick and Easy Weeknight Dinners

    • Korean Ground Beef Bowls - only 15 minutes to make the beef and serve with rice.
    • Healthy Orange Chicken - Marinate the chicken the night before then just toss in a skillet to cook and it's ready in 15 minutes!
    • One-Pot Beef Stroganoff - 30-minute meal AND made in just one pan. Greek yogurt is used instead of sour cream to lighten it up.

    • Author: Kathleen
    • Prep Time: 5 minutes
    • Cook Time: 15 minutes
    • Total Time: 20 minutes
    • Yield: 2 servings
    • Category: Mains, Dinner
    • Method: Oven
    • Cuisine: American

    Ingredients

    Sheet Pan Salmon and Broccoli

    • 2 single serving Salmon Filets, 4-6 ounces each
    • 2 cups Broccoli Florets, cut into smaller pieces if needed
    • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
    • ½ cup White Rice, cooked for serving
    • Sliced Green Onions, optional for serving
    • Sesame Seeds, optional for serving
    • Salt and Pepper

    Asian Sauce

    • 2 tablespoons Honey
    • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
    • ½ tablespoon Sesame Oil
    • ½ tablespoon Chili Garlic Sauce
    • ½ tablespoon Rice Vinegar
    • Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes

    Instructions

    1. Preheat Oven to 400°F
    2. Cook Rice. Meanwhile, cook the white rice according to package directions.
    3. Mix Sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients.
    4. Prepare on Sheet Pan. On a baking sheet, arrange the broccoli and drizzle with the olive oil and toss. Add the salmon filets to the sheet. Drizzle the sauce over the salmon and broccoli. I recommend pouring most of it on the salmon as it will run off into the broccoli as it cooks. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, to your preference.
    5. Bake. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the salmon is just done and the broccoli is just tender. I then recommend turning the oven to broil on high for just a minute or two - this adds a nice caramelization. Note - if your salmon pieces are thinner and done before the broccoli, you can remove the salmon and return broccoli to oven until desired doneness. Do not overcook the salmon as it can become dry.
    6. Serve. Serve salmon and broccoli with the cooked rice. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

    Notes

    Leftover salmon can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 days.
