Pan Seared Salmon And Broccoli Recipes

SHEET-PAN SALMON WITH SWEET POTATOES & BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.
• Combine mayonnaise and chili powder in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Toss sweet potatoes with 2 tsp. oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl.
• Spread on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss broccoli with the remaining 2 tsp. oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper in the same bowl.
• Remove the baking sheet from oven. Stir the sweet potatoes and move them to the sides of the pan. Arrange salmon in the center of the pan and spread the broccoli on either side, among the sweet potatoes.
• Spread 2 Tbsp. of the mayonnaise mixture over the salmon.
• Bake until the sweet potatoes are tender and the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add lime zest and lime juice to the remaining 1 Tbsp. mayonnaise; mix well.
• Divide the salmon among 4 plates and top with cheese and cilantro.
• Divide the sweet potatoes and broccoli among the plates and drizzle with the lime-mayonnaise sauce. Serve with lime wedges and any remaining sauce.

SHEET-PAN SALMON AND BROCCOLI WITH SESAME AND GINGER

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons sesame oil with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger and garlic until smooth. Set the glaze aside.
• Place the broccoli florets and 1 1/2-inch scallion segments on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, toss well and roast for 5 minutes.
• While the broccoli and scallions roast, place the salmon fillets on a plate and pat dry with paper towels. Brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Toss the broccoli and scallions and move to the edges of the pan, clearing spaces in the center for the salmon fillets. Place the salmon fillets, evenly spaced, on the center of the pan. Brush the fillets generously with the glaze.
• Return the pan to the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, about 12 minutes.
• Squeeze the lime over the broccoli and sprinkle with salt. Scatter the sliced scallions and sesame seeds over the salmon, and serve hot.
