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 kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, half of the lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss until the broccoli is evenly coated.
Spread the broccoli in a single layer on one side of the prepared sheet pan.
In the same bowl, add the salmon fillets, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining lemon zest, smoked paprika, remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Gently toss to coat the salmon evenly.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side of the sheet pan, leaving some space between each piece.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the broccoli is tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Drizzle the lemon juice over the salmon and broccoli.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
