This recipe is inspired by a dish that I first had at a restaurant in San Francisco. I was so impressed by the flavor of the salmon and the broccoli, that I knew I had to try to recreate it at home. After a few attempts, I finally came up with a recipe that I think is even better than the original. The key to this recipe is the honey garlic sauce. The sauce is made with a combination of honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. The sauce is brushed on the salmon before it is roasted, and it gives the salmon a delicious sweet and savory flavor. The broccoli is tossed with a bit of lemon juice before it is roasted, and this helps to brighten up the flavor of the dish. The result is a delicious and healthy meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.

Why It Works
  • The honey garlic sauce is a perfect complement to the salmon. The sweetness of the honey balances out the savoriness of the soy sauce, and the garlic powder adds a bit of depth of flavor.
  • Roasting the salmon and the broccoli together helps to create a flavorful and healthy meal. The salmon cooks through evenly, and the broccoli gets a bit caramelized around the edges.
  • The lemon juice helps to brighten up the flavor of the broccoli. It also helps to prevent the broccoli from getting too brown in the oven.
