Preparation

Preheat a grill, griddle pan, or oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut a sheet of foil large enough to wrap the salmon.

Place ½ Tbsp butter in the center of the foil. Lay the salmon (4 oz) on top. Mix together soy sauce (1 Tbsp), ginger (½ tsp), and garlic (½ clove). Pour over the salmon. Dot the remaining ½ Tbsp butter on top.

Wrap the foil tightly around the salmon to form a sealed parcel. Place on the grill, griddle, or in the oven, and cook for 10–12 minutes, depending on thickness.

While the salmon cooks, prepare the broccoli. Steam or boil broccoli (1 cup) until just tender, about 4–5 minutes. Drain.

In a small pan over medium heat, melt butter (1 Tbsp). Add garlic (½ clove) and ginger (½ tsp), sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Toss the broccoli into the pan and coat well. Season with salt to taste.

Once the salmon is cooked through, open the foil parcel carefully and sprinkle with sesame seeds (1 tsp) and sliced scallions (1 Tbsp).

To Serve: Plate the salmon with its sauce from the foil. Serve with a generous side of garlicky broccoli.
