INGREDIENTS
- 1 side Atlantic salmon skin-on
- 3 cups broccoli florets about 1 head
- 2 red bell peppers seeded and cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini cut into chunks
- 1 red onion peeled and cut into wedges
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Sticky soy balsamic sauce
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup sodium reduced soy sauce
- 1 clove minced garlic
METHOD
Arrange oven rack to middle position. Set oven to broil. Line one large or two small baking sheets with parchment paper.
In small bowl, combine canola oil, sesame oil and salt. Place salmon skin-side down in middle of sheet pan and vegetables around edges. (If using 2 sheet pans place salmon on one and vegetables on other). Drizzle half of oil mixture over vegetables, tossing to coat. Pour remaining oil mixture over salmon.
Broil just until salmon is opaque, about 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in small pot over medium heat, combine vinegar, maple, soy sauce and garlic. Cook, scraping bottom with spatula, until slightly thickened, about 4-6 minutes. Thin with water, one teaspoon at a time, if needed. Drizzle over salmon and vegetables. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using).
Tip: A large baking sheet is about the size of two standard baking sheets (21 x 15 inches) and makes family sheet pan dinners a breeze. You can find them online or in restaurant supply stores.
