Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

2 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp cornstarch

2 tbsp water

4 cups broccoli florets

2 cups cooked brown rice

2 green onions, sliced

Sesame seeds for garnish

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a simmer.

Mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl, then whisk into the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.

Place salmon fillets on prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush with half of the teriyaki sauce.

Bake salmon for 12-15 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork. Brush with remaining sauce halfway through cooking.

While salmon bakes, steam broccoli: Place broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.

To serve: Place brown rice on plates, top with salmon fillet, and arrange steamed broccoli alongside.

Drizzle with any remaining teriyaki sauce, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
