How it's cooked (10 steps)

Preheat the oven to 425 F and line a large rimmed sheet pan with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
On the sheet pan, toss the broccoli with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the black pepper; spread in a single layer and roast until just starting to brown at the edges, 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillets dry and season both sides with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch.
Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, whisking often, until thickened enough to coat a spoon, 3-4 minutes; remove from heat and set aside 3 tablespoons for serving.
Push the broccoli to the edges of the pan and nestle the salmon fillets, skin-side down, in the center; brush each fillet with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Spoon the glaze generously over the salmon and broccoli.
Return the pan to the oven and roast until the salmon is just opaque and flakes easily at the thickest part, internal temperature 125-130 F, tenting the broccoli edges with foil if they're browning too fast, 8-10 minutes.
Switch the oven to broil and broil until the glaze is bubbling and lightly caramelized at the edges, 1-2 minutes, watching closely so it doesn't burn.
Drizzle the salmon and broccoli with the reserved glaze and the sesame oil, then scatter with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
