Start by patting the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, and minced garlic to create a quick Asian-inspired marinade.
Lightly brush the salmon with half of the marinade and let it sit for 5 minutes.
While the salmon marinates, bring a pot of water to a simmer and prepare the broccoli in a steamer basket. Steam the broccoli for about 5-6 minutes until just tender but vibrant in color.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the salmon skin-side down for about 4 minutes to achieve a crispy exterior. Turn the salmon over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness.
In a separate small pan, warm the shelled edamame over medium heat. Pour the remaining marinade over the edamame and toss gently until well coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Plate the seared salmon, add the steamed broccoli on the side, and top off with the flavored sesame edamame.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, Asian-inspired dinner.
