Sheet Pan Roasted Salmon Broccolini

Sheet Pan Roasted Salmon Broccolini

This recipe is a simple and flavorful way to cook salmon and broccolini on a single sheet pan. It’s perfect for a busy weeknight meal.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound broccolini, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
• 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin-on or skinless
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 lemon, sliced thin (optional)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Cooking Guide:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss broccolini with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread broccolini in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place salmon fillets on top of the broccolini.
4. (Optional) Arrange lemon slices over the salmon and sprinkle with minced garlic.
5. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the salmon and broccolini.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the broccolini is tender-crisp.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in your favorite marinade for 30 minutes before baking.
• If your broccolini stalks are thick, cut them in half or quarters lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. This will prevent the salmon from crisping up properly and the broccolini from roasting evenly.
• Broil the salmon for the last minute of cooking for a crispier skin (if using skin-on fillets). Watch closely to avoid burning.
• Garnish with fresh parsley or another herb of your choice before serving.

Enjoy this delicious and healthy sheet pan meal!
