Ingredients

• 6 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
• 3 bunches of broccoli (about 12 cups)
• 2 lemons
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for some heat)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, making cleanup a breeze.

Rinse the broccoli and cut it into florets, placing them on one half of the prepared sheet pan.

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the broccoli and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss gently to coat.

Place the salmon fillets on the other half of the sheet pan, leaving a little space between each fillet.

Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the salmon. Sprinkle the minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper evenly over the salmon fillets.

Cut one lemon into thin slices and place a slice on top of each salmon fillet.

Cut the second lemon into wedges and set them aside for serving. Roast the salmon and broccoli in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the broccoli is tender and slightly caramelized.

Remove the sheet pan from the oven and squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon over the salmon fillets.

Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

For the best results, pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel before seasoning to ensure the flavors stick.

Use fresh broccoli for the best flavor and texture.

If you prefer a more well-done salmon, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, but be careful not to overcook.

You can adjust the level of heat to your liking by adding more or less red pepper flakes.

Make sure to not overcrowd the sheet pan, leaving enough space between each salmon fillet for even cooking.

Serve with a side of quinoa, rice, or a simple green salad for a well-rounded meal.

You can also use this recipe as a base and customize it with your favorite herbs or spices to give it a personal touch.
