Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon (juiced and zested)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped (optional)
  • 1 pound broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Prepare the Salmon: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Make the Lemon Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic, lemon juice, and zest. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Roast the Broccoli: Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on the same baking sheet as the salmon.
  • Bake: Pour the lemon butter sauce over the salmon fillets. Bake everything in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy warm!
