Baked salmon & broccoli in Asian style

Salmon is rich in omega 3, healthy food. I like eating salmon in Japanese way - sashimi :) but I also like frying salmon on the pan, the half-done salmon with crispy skin is delicious! What about in the oven? May be I can explore some other ways to make salmon, so here is baked salmon.




Ingredients
1 head broccoli, broken into florets*

4 skin-on salmon fillet
juice 1/2 lemon 
3 stalks spring onions, sliced

Optional: olive oil

2 tbsp soy sauce

* If you want to keep the trunks of the broccoli as well, use boiling method - see step 1 **note

Instructions
1. Heat oven to 180°C
Wash and drain the broccoli and, while still a little wet, lay them on the tray (no fillet for the moment)
Pour some lemon juice over broccoli. Bake for 10mins**

**Note: instead of baking the broccoli, you can boil the broccoli at medium heat flower part: 1-2mins & trunks: 5mins, run the broccoli immediately under cool water when time is up, drain water and set aside

2. After 10mins, take the tray out from the oven, push the broccoli aside, lay fillets with skin facing the bottom

3. Top with the rest of lemon juice on the fillets
Sprinkle spring onions & drizzle with a little olive oil over everything
Put the tray back to oven and bake for another 15mins


4. After 15mins, take the tray out from the oven once more, sprinkle everything with the soy sauce
Then return to the oven for 4 mins more until the salmon is cooked through

Serve hot with rice!
Enjoy!
