Ingredients
Scale

- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced or sliced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: Fresh dill or parsley, Red pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Position rack in center.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and drizzle with olive oil.
- Pat salmon fillets dry and rub all sides with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- In a bowl, toss broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Place salmon fillets skin-side down on one side of the baking sheet.
- Spread the seasoned broccoli on the other side in a single layer.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and broccoli has slightly charred edges.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and broccoli.
- Garnish with fresh dill or parsley and red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a sweet-savory twist, drizzle with honey mustard sauce before serving.
- Wild-caught salmon is recommended for richer flavor and better texture.
- Ensure broccoli is in a single layer for even cooking and crispiness.
- Do not overcook the salmon to prevent dryness.
