Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1 pound broccoli florets
  • 1 pound baby carrots or chopped sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets and carrots (or sweet potatoes) with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
  4. Place the salmon fillets on the other half of the baking sheet, leaving space between the fish and the vegetables.
  5. Spoon the garlic herb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet. Place two thin lemon slices on top of each fillet.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and slightly browned. Cooking time depends on the thickness of your salmon.
  7. Serve the garlic herb salmon immediately with the roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the finished salmon and vegetables before serving.
  • If you prefer a crispier vegetable texture, you can roast the vegetables for 10 minutes before adding the salmon to the pan.
  • This recipe works well with other firm vegetables like Brussels sprouts or bell peppers.
