High-Protein Sheet-Pan Salmon with Broccoli

(2)

Fresh, fast and full of flavor, this sheet-pan salmon with broccoli is a healthy weeknight winner. Salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation and support heart health. A zesty mix of lemon, garlic and olive oil brings brightness to both the tender salmon and the roasted broccoli. Everything roasts together quickly, so cleanup is minimal and dinner is on the table in no time.

  3. Add broccoli florets to the large bowl; toss to coat with the lemon mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet; roast for 5 minutes. Move the broccoli to one side and place the 4 salmon portions on the other side. Spoon the reserved lemon mixture onto the salmon. Roast until the broccoli is tender and the salmon is just cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes. Garnish with parsley and/or chives, if desired.
