Lemon Herb Roasted Salmon with Garlic Broccoli
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free
Description:
A healthy and flavorful one-pan meal featuring perfectly roasted salmon with bright lemon and fresh herbs, served alongside tender-crisp garlic-infused broccoli.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs salmon fillet (or 4 individual 6oz fillets)
- 1 large head broccoli (about 1.5 lbs), cut into florets
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, half sliced into rounds, half for juice
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or fresh parsley)
- 1 tsp salt, divided
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, divided
- Optional: 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets with 2 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper (and red pepper flakes, if using). Toss to coat evenly.
- Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down (if applicable) on the other half of the baking sheet. Drizzle the salmon with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the salmon. Arrange the lemon slices on top of the salmon fillets.
- Roast for 12-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the broccoli is tender-crisp and slightly charred. Cooking time will vary based on salmon thickness.
- Remove from oven. Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon half over both the salmon and broccoli before serving.
