Ingredients

Salmon and Seasoning

  • 1 ½ lbs. salmon, cut into 4 filets (skin on or off)
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon mustard powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons peanut oil (can substitute vegetable oil)

Sauce

  • ½ cup beef broth
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil (can substitute olive oil)

Vegetables

  • 2 cups broccoli florets

Side

  • 3 cups cooked rice (any kind)

Instructions

  1. Prep Work: In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, salt, pepper, mustard powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to make the salmon seasoning. In a medium measuring cup with a spout, combine beef broth, chicken broth, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce (if using), ground ginger, sesame oil, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Keep the sauce mixture cool until ready to use.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F to prepare for finishing the salmon in the oven.
  3. Sauté the Broccoli: Heat 1-2 tablespoons peanut oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli florets and cook for about 4 minutes until slightly softened, adding a splash of oil if needed. Remove broccoli and set aside.
  4. Season the Salmon: Pat salmon filets dry with paper towels. Evenly sprinkle the prepared seasoning mix onto each filet and gently press it into the surface to adhere well.
  5. Sear the Salmon: Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon filets skin-side-down if applicable, and sear for 3 minutes without moving them to develop a nice crust.
  6. Add Sauce and Simmer: Lower heat to medium and pour the prepared sauce over the salmon. Bring the mixture to a boil to activate the cornstarch and thicken the sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low and baste the salmon with sauce for an additional 2 minutes while it cooks through gently.
  7. Add Broccoli and Bake: Return the sautéed broccoli to the skillet with the salmon and sauce. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes, allowing the salmon to finish cooking through.
  8. Broil for Caramelization: After baking, increase the oven temperature to a low broil setting at approximately 400°F and broil the skillet for 1-2 minutes. This step caramelizes the glaze on top of the salmon. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  9. Rest the Salmon: Remove the skillet from the oven and spoon extra glaze over the salmon. Let the salmon rest for 5-10 minutes; during this time it will continue to cook gently and reach an internal temperature of 145°F, ensuring it is safe to eat and perfectly tender.
  10. Serve: Transfer the salmon and broccoli to serving plates alongside your cooked rice. Spoon additional glaze from the skillet over the salmon for extra flavor and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use any type of rice you prefer; white, brown, jasmine, or basmati work well.
  • Ensure the sauce ingredients are cool before mixing in cornstarch to prevent premature thickening.
  • If you prefer a milder glaze, omit the hot sauce and red pepper flakes.
  • Salmon can be cooked with or without skin according to your preference; skin helps hold the salmon together during cooking.
  • For an oil substitute, olive or vegetable oil can be used instead of peanut oil.
