Quick & Easy Teriyaki Salmon with Broccoli and White Rice

The Ultimate 30-Minute Dinner from Aldi

This Teriyaki Salmon dinner is not only a fan favorite in our house, but it’s also quick, easy, and requires minimal cleanup! With tender salmon fillets, a rich teriyaki glaze, fresh broccoli, and perfectly cooked white rice, it’s a well-rounded meal that comes together in just 30 minutes. Here’s how to make it!

Ingredients (All from Aldi):

  • 2-4 salmon fillets (depending on portion size)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for rubbing on the salmon)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (adjust depending on how saucy you like it)
  • 1 bag frozen broccoli (or fresh if preferred)
  • White rice (your choice of rice, cooked per package instructions)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven to 275°F:
    • Yes, 275°F is correct! This lower temperature ensures your salmon cooks evenly and stays tender and moist.
  2. Cook the Broccoli:
    • In the microwave, cook the broccoli per the bag instructions (usually around 4-6 minutes, depending on the type of broccoli).
  3. Prepare the Baking Sheet:
    • Line a cookie sheet or baking pan with foil for easy cleanup.
    • Spray the foil with cooking spray or drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent the salmon from sticking.
  4. Prepare the Salmon:
    • Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet with the skin side down.
    • Drizzle the fillets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and rub it in evenly over the salmon.
    • Season the salmon with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Pour teriyaki sauce over the salmon. Use a brush or spoon to coat the salmon evenly with the sauce, making sure it’s fully covered.
  5. Add Broccoli to the Pan:
    • Take the cooked broccoli from the microwave and place it around the salmon on the baking sheet.
    • Drizzle a bit more teriyaki sauce over the broccoli for extra flavor.
  6. Bake the Salmon:
    • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. The salmon should be cooked through, tender, and easily flake with a fork.
    • If you prefer crispy edges, you can broil the salmon for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end.
  7. Cook the Rice:
    • While the salmon is baking, prepare the white rice according to the package instructions.
  8. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven. If you prefer your salmon skin-free, it should come right off the skin easily with a fork.
    • Serve the salmon over a bed of white rice, with the teriyaki broccoli on the side.

Tips for Success:

  • Use Frozen or Fresh Broccoli: Whether you use frozen or fresh broccoli, this meal is versatile. For fresh broccoli, you can steam it, roast it, or sauté it with a little olive oil and garlic for added flavor.
  • Teriyaki Sauce: Adjust the amount of teriyaki sauce based on your preference. If you love a more intense flavor, feel free to add more!
  • Don’t Overcook the Salmon: Be mindful of the cooking time—salmon cooks quickly and can dry out if overcooked. The lower temperature helps keep it moist and tender.
  • Rice: Pair this dish with steamed white rice, or switch things up with brown rice, jasmine rice, or quinoa for a different texture.

Serving Ideas:

  • Add a Side Salad: Serve this dish with a simple mixed green salad or cucumber salad to add a refreshing crunch.
  • Garnish with Sesame Seeds: For extra flavor and texture, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions on top of the salmon before serving.

This Teriyaki Salmon with Broccoli and Rice is the perfect weeknight dinner—flavorful, healthy, and easy to make! Plus, the minimal cleanup is always a bonus. Whether you’re cooking for your family or prepping a quick meal for yourself, this recipe is a surefire hit! Enjoy!
