Baked Lemon Garlic Salmon with Steamed Broccoli
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 lemons, juiced and zested
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pour the lemon garlic mixture over the salmon, making sure to coat each fillet evenly.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, steam the broccoli. Place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.
- Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the steamed broccoli and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the baked lemon garlic salmon with the steamed broccoli on the side. Enjoy!
