Tender, flaky salmon and crisp-tender broccoli roasted together on one pan with a bright lemon-garlic dressing. A perfect, healthy weeknight dinner that comes together in under 30 minutes with minimal cleanup.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, minced garlic, juice from half the lemon, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl. Pour about two-thirds of the dressing over them and toss until evenly coated. Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. Push the partially roasted broccoli to one side. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the empty side of the pan.
Brush the remaining dressing evenly over the salmon fillets. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) at the thickest part.
Remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley. Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and serve alongside for squeezing over the salmon and broccoli just before eating.

Absolutely. Just make sure to thaw the salmon completely in the refrigerator overnight before using. Pat it very dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture before adding the dressing.
The salmon is done when it changes from translucent to opaque and flakes easily when pressed with a fork. For the most accurate result, use an instant-read thermometer; it should register 145°F (63°C) at the thickest part.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm in a 275°F (135°C) oven for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Avoid the microwave, as it can overcook the salmon and make it rubbery.
This is a complete meal on its own, but it also pairs well with quinoa, brown rice, roasted potatoes, or a simple side salad.
