instructions
    1

    Begin by preparing the marinade for the salmon. In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, and black pepper to taste. This will create a sweet and savory glaze.

    Next, place the salmon pieces in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the dish and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

    3

    While the salmon is marinating, wash and cut the broccoli into florets. Bring a pot of water to boil and prepare a steamer basket.

    4

    Once the water is boiling, place the broccoli in the steamer basket and steam for about 5 to 7 minutes until bright green and tender but still crisp. Remove from the heat and set aside.

    5

    In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon pieces skin-side down. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the skin is crispy and the salmon is cooked halfway through.

    6

    Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until cooked to your desired doneness. Brush additional marinade over the salmon while it cooks for extra flavor.

    7

    To serve, place the steamed broccoli on a plate alongside the salmon. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor. Enjoy your delicious honey glazed salmon with steamed broccoli!
