Ingredients

For the Teriyaki Sauce:

3/4 cup lower-sodium soy sauce
2 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup brown sugar - packed
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 teaspoon ginger - minced
1 ½ Tablespoons cornstarch - with equal parts water

Remaining ingredients:

1.25 pounds skinless salmon - Cut in 2-inch cubes
5 cups broccoli florets - cut in small florets
8-10 oz. spaghetti noodles
olive oil or avocado oil - to saute the salmon and broccoli
green onions - diced, to serve

Instructions

Make teriyaki sauce. Combine soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring sauce ingredients to a boil over medium heat, and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Combine cold water and cornstarch in a separate bowl. Mix well. Add cornstarch slurry to the pan and cook at low heat until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat, and pour into a mason jar or small bowl.

Cook Salmon. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and the place salmon in skillet. Sprinkle the salmon with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook for a few minutes. Flip salmon cubes and cook until the salmon is nearly done. Remove salmon to a plate.

NOTE: You may need to cook the salmon in batches. Don't crowd the pan.
Cook broccoli. Wipe the skillet clean and add another drizzle of olive oil. Then add the broccoli florets and cook, stirring frequently. Don't overcook.

Cook pasta. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add pasta and a fair amount of salt. Cook until the pasta is al dente. Drain well.
8-10 oz. spaghetti noodles
Add salmon and teriyaki sauce to skillet. When the broccoli is done (but crisp), add the salmon back to the pan along with most of the teriyaki glaze. (Reserve a bit of sauce to serve, if desired.) Gently combine and simmer for a few minutes.
Add spaghetti noodles. Then add the pasta to the pan and mix to combine.
Serve teriyaki salmon with noodles in shallow bowls. Add some diced green onions and remaining teriyaki sauce as desired.

Notes

Since the salmon is sliced into 2-inch pieces, it will cook pretty quickly. Make sure you cook the salmon in batches to avoid crowding and don't overcook!
You can use a variety of other vegetables besides broccoli. Try sugar snap peas, snow peas, bok choy, asparagus spears, and/or bell peppers.
You may want to make extra teriyaki sauce.
