Ingredients
4 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces each
1 pound broccoli florets, washed and trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, half of the lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Spread the broccoli evenly on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side of the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, remaining lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and paprika.
Brush the salmon fillets generously with the lemon and olive oil mixture.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the broccoli is tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
