Cashew Honey Soy Salmon

Step 1

Whisk together the Honey Soy Sauce ingredients in a medium bowl. Remove ¼ cup to a shallow dish or plastic bag. Add salmon and let marinate 30-60 minutes at room temperature.

Step 2

Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with foil. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add broccoli and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 tablespoon Honey Soy Sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Push into a row on the left side of the pan in a single layer.

Step 3

Remove salmon from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Brush the tops of the salmon with approximately 1 tablespoon honey (total) then push this honey side into the chopped cashews. Turn salmon over and top/push additional cashews into any spot that needs it. Place salmon next to broccoli in a single layer.

Step 4

Bake at 400 degrees F for approximately 12-15 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork (cooking time may vary depending on thickness of salmon, see note)*

Step 5

When your salmon only has a few minutes left to bake, begin your Honey Soy Glaze (so it doesn’t get too thick upon standing). Add the remaining Sauce (that you didn’t use in the marinade) to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon then add 1 tablespoon butter. Melt butter over medium heat. If you want your glaze thicker, simmer longer. If it get’s too thick then stir in some water to reach desired thickness.

Step 6

Serve Salmon with Honey Soy Glaze – a little goes a long way! If you want the cashews to stay crunchy, serve the glaze on the side.
