Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Brush the glaze generously over each fillet, making sure to coat the top and sides.

4. Bake the salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of your fillets.

5. Broil for a crispy finish (optional): If you want a slightly crispy top, you can turn on the broiler for the last 1–2 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

6. Steam the broccoli in a bowl of water by putting it in the microwave for 3–4 minutes. If there is no microwave, place broccoli in a mesh strainer above boiling water, with a lid over the mesh container. You should have Crunchy Broccoli.

Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, next to the steamed broccoli, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
