Instructions

**Marinate the Salmon**: In a shallow dish, combine the teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Add the salmon fillets and ensure they're coated well. Let them marinate for about 15-30 minutes, if you have time.

**Prepare the Broccoli**: While the salmon marinates, bring a pot of water to a boil and place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket. Steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still bright green. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

**Cook the Salmon**: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and cook it in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork and has a nice caramelized glaze. If you prefer, you can grill the salmon instead for a smoky flavor.

**Serve**: Plate the salmon alongside the steamed broccoli. Drizzle any leftover teriyaki sauce from the pan over both. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra pop of flavor.
Once a favorite in Japanese households, this dish brings together tender salmon and vibrant broccoli, all enhanced by a rich and savory teriyaki glaze. It's a delightful way to enjoy a light yet satisfying meal!
