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
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 lemon halved, divided
chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400˚F. Grease a sheet pan with cooking spray.
Arrange broccoli florets and salmon fillets on the sheet pan. Rub minced garlic over each fillet. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
Pour the butter mixture over the salmon and veggies.
Take half of a lemon and squeeze lemon juice over everything; then, season with salt and pepper.
Place the sheet pan in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature is 145˚F degrees.
Remove from oven and garnish with parsley. Serve with lemon slices.

Notes

Storage: Place completely cooled salmon in an airtight container and keep it refrigerated for 3 to 4 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months.
