Ingredients
  

Protein
  • 4 pieces salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or skinless
Veggies
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (about 300 g)
Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
Spices
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth and glossy.
  3. Toss the broccoli florets with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them out on one side of the sheet pan in a single layer.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side of the pan. Brush each fillet generously with the maple Dijon glaze.
Cooking
  1. Roast in the oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the broccoli has golden brown edges. If the broccoli browns too fast, loosely cover it with foil halfway through cooking.
  2. Remove from oven and let the salmon rest for 2 minutes. Serve the salmon alongside roasted broccoli, spooning any extra pan glaze over the top.

Notes

Ensure even cooking by placing the salmon and broccoli in a single layer. Adjust the cooking time based on your oven and preferred doneness. Use fresh garlic for a more robust flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
