- While salmon is marinating, add broccoli to a sheet pan. Toss with oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Add salmon to the same sheet pan with the broccoli. Bake for 6-8 minutes more minutes.

Notes
Calories are for salmon, rice, sauce and broccoli combined. If you leave off the rice and use less sauce the calories will go down.
If you are short on time you can leave off the ginger sauce and the bowls will still be delicious - however I recommend keeping the sauce!
You will have extra ginger sauce. It tastes delicious with anything.
