Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)

2 cups broccoli florets

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 lemon (zested and juiced)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure it's nice and hot for perfectly cooked salmon.

    Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

      Mix the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using. This zesty marinade will infuse flavor into the salmon.

        Arrange the Ingredients: Place the salmon fillets on one side of the baking sheet. On the other side, spread the broccoli florets evenly. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the broccoli and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

          Coat the Salmon: Pour the lemon-garlic marinade over the salmon fillets, making sure they are well coated.

            Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the broccoli is tender.

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

                Enjoy: Serve your One-Pan Lemon Garlic Salmon and Broccoli hot, making sure to drizzle any remaining juices over the dish for an extra punch of flavor.
