Roasted Salmon & Broccoli with Lemon Garlic Butter

I bought a big ol’ bottle of lemon juice the other day when I made some Buttery Lemon Caper Sauce. So I have a lot of lemon juice to burn through which mean, lots of yummy lemony recipes to come! I’ll definitely be making some of my mom-in-laws amazing Lemon Squares soon. But before dessert comes dinner! It doesn’t get any easier than this mouthwatering Roasted Salmon & Broccoli recipe.

As you can see from the picture above, this is a one pan meal that’s ready in 15 minutes! Salmon filets go in the middle of the pan with the broccoli florets surrounding them. Everything is drenched in the best lemon garlic sauce and the filets are topped with ½ tablespoon of butter EACH for that extra buttery consistency. I can’t even describe how good the final flavor is. Let’s just say, I was stuffing my face before I could even empty the pan for dinner. If you’re ready to eat, follow the super easy Roasted Salmon & Broccoli recipe below!
