Ingredients:

1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
2 limes
140g
2 lb salmon
910g
1/3 cup olive oil
80g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp ginger root
16g
4 cups carrots
480g
2 tbsp vegetable broth
30g
1/4 cup soy sauce
60g
16 oz broccoli
450g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, juice and zest of the limes, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and soy sauce. Mix well until the brown sugar has dissolved.
3. Marinate the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillet in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
- Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
4. Prepare the Vegetables:
- While the salmon is marinating, prepare the carrots and broccoli.
- Place the carrots and broccoli on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with vegetable broth, olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
5. Roast the Vegetables:
- Bake the carrots and broccoli in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned. Stir halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
6. Cook the Salmon:
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
7. Simmer the Marinade (Optional):
- If desired, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Use this as a glaze to brush over the cooked salmon for an extra burst of flavor.
8. Serve:
- Arrange the roasted carrots and broccoli on serving plates.
- Place a portion of the brown sugar & lime-glazed salmon alongside the veggies.
- Drizzle any remaining glaze over the salmon, if desired.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve your delicious, healthy brown sugar & lime-glazed salmon with the roasted carrots and broccoli immediately.

Tips:

- For best results, use fresh salmon and ensure it is evenly coated with the glaze.

- Marinate the salmon in the glaze for at least 30 minutes before cooking to enhance the flavors.

- When roasting the carrots and broccoli, drizzle them with a bit of olive oil and seasoning to enhance their natural flavors.

- Keep an eye on the salmon while cooking to prevent overcooking - it should be flaky and moist.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar and lime to suit your taste preference.

By following these steps, you will have a restaurant-quality meal that’s perfect for weeknights or special occasions. The brown sugar and lime glaze adds a unique twist to the salmon, making it a standout dish that’s sure to impress. Enjoy your flavorsome and healthy meal with family and friends!
