Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
