Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut lemon into 8 thin slices and set aside. Trim broccoli stems and cut crowns into 1-inch florets.
  2. Step 2: Place broccoli on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and toss to coat. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper, then spread in a single layer.
  3. Step 3: Arrange salmon fillets on top of broccoli, skin-side down. Rub each fillet with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then press minced garlic and 1 tbsp dill onto the flesh.
  4. Step 4: Place lemon slices on top of salmon and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper, and 1 tbsp dill. Roast for 15-18 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and broccoli edges are golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven, squeeze extra lemon juice over everything, and garnish with remaining 1 tbsp dill before serving.

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep (5 oz each) salmon fillets from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Sheet Pan Lemon-Dill Salmon with Roasted Broccoli?
