Ingredients
- 4 pieces, about 6 oz each salmon fillets
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 4 tbsp, divided olive oil
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2, minced garlic clove
- 1 tsp, divided salt
- 1/2 tsp, divided black pepper
- 1/4 tsp, optional red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp fresh orange juice, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 2 minced garlic cloves until smooth.
- Step 2: Place 4 cups broccoli florets on one side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
- Step 3: Arrange 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side of the baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the citrus-honey glaze. Drizzle remaining 2 tbsp olive oil over the salmon. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (if using) over the salmon.
- Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and broccoli is tender with slightly crispy edges. Serve immediately, spooning any pan juices over the salmon.
