Ingredients

  • 5 fillets salmon 4-6 oz. each, skin removed
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon McCormick salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon McCormick pepper
  • 1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey plus more for brushing
  • 2 tablespoons Asian sweet chili sauce (like Mae Ploy)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon quality hoisin sauce (like Lee Kum Kee or Kikkoman)
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon Asian hot chili sauce (like Mae Ploy)
  • 1/2 teaspoon McCormick garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon McCormick ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon McCormick onion powder

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature will give the salmon a beautiful caramelization while keeping it moist.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets with olive oil, McCormick salt, and McCormick pepper. Toss until the broccoli is well-coated.
  • Spread the seasoned broccoli on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the low sodium soy sauce, honey, Asian sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, Asian hot chili sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, and onion powder. Stir until well combined and let simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • While the glaze is simmering, place the salmon fillets on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the fillets generously with the honey soy glaze, reserving some for later.
  • Once the broccoli has roasted for 15 minutes, add the salmon to the oven. Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Remove both the salmon and broccoli from the oven. Drizzle the remaining honey soy glaze over the salmon and sprinkle the finely chopped cashews on top. Serve immediately with the roasted broccoli on the side, and enjoy the delightful flavors of your Honey Soy Salmon!
