Ingredients

For the Salmon And Vegetables
  • 4 (6 ounces each) 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

  • chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
 

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 400˚F and lightly coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.

  3. In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, oregano, thyme, and rosemary until combined.
  4. Spoon the garlic butter mixture over the salmon and broccoli.
  5. Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon over the pan, then season everything with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145˚F.
  7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve with the remaining lemon half sliced into wedges.
Notes
Storage: Allow the salmon to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
