Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 bunch broccolini (about 8 oz)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare Your Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray or olive oil.
  3. Season the Salmon: Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, melt some butter on top, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Add Garlic and Lemon: Evenly distribute minced garlic over the salmon, then squeeze fresh lemon juice on top for added flavor.
  5. Prepare Broccolini: Arrange broccolini around the salmon in the baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Bake It All Together: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the broccolini is tender yet bright green.
  7. Serve Immediately: Plate the salmon and broccolini, drizzling any remaining melted butter from the pan over each serving for extra richness.
