Prepare a complete, healthy weeknight salmon dinner using one pan for simple cleanup. This recipe features salmon fillets baked alongside fresh broccolini with a bright lemon garlic seasoning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1 pound broccolini, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, half juiced and half sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oregano to create the marinade.
  3. Place the trimmed broccolini on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle half of the marinade over the broccolini and toss to coat evenly. Spread the broccolini into a single layer.
  4. Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Pour the remaining marinade over the salmon fillets. Place thin lemon slices on top of each fillet.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the broccolini is tender-crisp.
  6. Serve the salmon and broccolini immediately for a quick healthy salmon dinner idea.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can roast the broccolini for 5 minutes before adding the salmon to the pan.
  • If you prefer a crispier vegetable, increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and adjust the cooking time slightly.
  • This recipe is excellent for low carb salmon broccolini meals.
