  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

    • For the Salmon and Vegetables:
    • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
    • 4 to 6 cups broccoli florets
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced

 

  • For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lemon, halved (juice of half; other half sliced for serving)
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a sheet pan with cooking spray.
  2. Place the salmon fillets and broccoli florets evenly on the sheet pan. Rub minced garlic over each fillet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
  4. Pour the garlic butter sauce evenly over the salmon and vegetables.
  5. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over everything, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices. Serve immediately.
