How To Make Sheet Pan Maple Soy Salmon

The Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets
    Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, tender, and flavorful, making it a nutritious centerpiece for this dish.
    Substitutes: Trout, Arctic char, cod, or mahi-mahi for similar flaky fish options. For a non-fish alternative, try marinated tofu or tempeh.

  • Broccoli
    Broccoli provides a crisp, slightly bitter contrast to the sweet and savory salmon, plus lots of fiber and vitamins.
    Substitutes: Cauliflower, green beans, asparagus, or Brussels sprouts work well roasted alongside salmon.

  • Sesame seeds
    Toasted sesame seeds add a nutty crunch and a touch of Asian-inspired flavor.
    Substitutes: Poppy seeds, toasted sunflower seeds, or chopped toasted nuts like almonds or cashews.

  • Noodles or rice for serving
    These are the perfect base to soak up the maple soy glaze and complete the meal.
    Substitutes: Quinoa, cauliflower rice, soba noodles, or spiralized vegetables for a low-carb option.

 

Salmon Marinade Ingredients

  • Soy sauce or tamari
    Provides salty umami flavor that forms the base of the marinade. Tamari is a gluten-free alternative with a similar taste.
    Substitutes: Coconut aminos (lower sodium and soy-free), Worcestershire sauce, or liquid aminos.

  • Maple syrup
    Adds natural sweetness and balances the saltiness of the soy sauce with a rich, caramel note.
    Substitutes: Honey, agave nectar, brown sugar, or coconut sugar dissolved in a little water.

  • Sesame oil
    Gives a toasty, nutty aroma and depth of flavor to the marinade.
    Substitutes: Toasted walnut oil, peanut oil, or a mild olive oil (though it lacks the nutty aroma).

  • Garlic clove
    Fresh garlic adds pungency and warmth, rounding out the marinade’s flavor profile.
    Substitutes: Garlic powder (use sparingly), shallots, or garlic-infused oil.

What You Need

The Steps

  • Combine soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Add salmon and marinate for at least 20 minutes in the fridge. You can also marinate the salmon overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 415°F.
  • Wash and chop broccoli into small florets.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Add salmon fillets and broccoli to the baking sheet.
  • Pour remaining marinade over broccoli and toss well.
  • Bake for 18 minutes and broil for 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and top with sesame seeds.
  • Serve over rice or noodles.
