# What You'll Need:

→ For the Salmon

01 - 4 skinless salmon fillets, 6 oz each
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
05 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
06 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
08 - Zest of 1 lemon

10 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
11 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
12 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ To Serve

13 - 1 lemon, cut into wedges
14 - Fresh parsley, chopped

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, Italian herbs, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to form a paste.
03 - Arrange salmon fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Spread the garlic-Parmesan paste evenly over the top of each fillet.
04 - Place broccoli florets on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
05 - Roast in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the broccoli is tender with slightly crisp edges.
06 - Serve salmon and broccoli hot, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges.

# Expert Pointers:

01 -
  • The whole meal roasts on one sheet, which means you'll spend more time eating than cleaning.
  • Salmon and broccoli cook perfectly in the same twenty minutes, no babysitting required.
  • That savory, garlicky crust keeps the fish moist while tasting completely indulgent.
02 -
  • Pat the salmon dry with paper towels before spreading the Parmesan mixture on top—any surface moisture prevents the crust from forming properly.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; the broccoli needs space to roast rather than steam, which is what creates those golden, crispy florets.
03 -
  • If your salmon fillets are thick, place the pan lower in the oven so the crust doesn't burn before the fish cooks through.
  • The lemon zest is non-negotiable—it's what transforms this from good to something people actually remember eating.
