Steps

You’ll need: rimmed baking sheet, small saucepan, medium saucepan, instant-read thermometer.

  1. Start the rice. Heat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. In a small saucepan, whisk the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, garlic, ginger, cornstarch and water. Simmer 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until glossy. Set half aside for serving.
  3. Toss the broccoli with the oil and salt and spread it on one side of the sheet. Roast 8 minutes.
  4. Set the salmon on the other side of the sheet and brush with the rest of the sauce. Roast 10 to 12 minutes, until the thickest part reaches 145°F and flakes easily.
  5. Fill bowls with rice, salmon, broccoli and cucumber. Drizzle with the saved sauce and top with sesame seeds and green onions.

🌡 Safe temperaturesFish 145°F. Check the thickest part with a food thermometer (USDA). More on food safety.

Make aheadMake the sauce and cook the rice up to 3 days ahead.
↺ LeftoversPack cold bowls for lunch, or reheat the salmon and rice to 165°F.
🧒 With kidsCheck for pin bones by running a finger along the fillet. Kids often like the sweet glaze.
