Ingredients
- 4 fillets (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 6 cups Fresh broccoli
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 count Fresh lemon
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
- Roast broccoli for 20 minutes total until tender and lightly charred.
- While broccoli roasts, pat salmon dry and place on a second baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mince garlic and melt butter in a small bowl. Drizzle garlic butter over salmon fillets.
- Place salmon in the oven for the last 12-15 minutes of the broccoli's roasting time, until it reaches 145°F inside.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over salmon and broccoli before serving. Divide between four plates and enjoy.
- Picky eater tip: serve plain roasted broccoli and a piece of salmon without the garlic butter or lemon.
- Make-ahead tip: cut the broccoli and mince the garlic up to a day ahead and keep them in the fridge. Cooked leftovers keep 3 days.
On the side: Warm pita and hummus (5 min)
1 package pita bread, 1 container hummus
- Warm the pitas in a dry skillet or the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.
