Sheet Pan Lemon Garlic Butter Salmon
There’s something wonderfully easy about Sheet Pan Lemon Garlic Butter Salmon. The salmon bakes in a buttery lemon-garlic sauce while everything cooks together on one pan, giving you a flavorful dinner without a pile of dishes afterward.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets about 5–6 oz each
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 –4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 large lemon zested and juiced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup asparagus or green beans
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Lemon slices for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and pat the salmon fillets dry.
- Make the sauce by whisking melted butter, garlic, lemon juice and zest, honey, olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Arrange the salmon and vegetables on the sheet pan. Toss the vegetables with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread everything into an even layer.
- Brush the salmon generously with the lemon garlic butter mixture, reserving a little for serving if desired.
- Bake for 12–16 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and is cooked through. Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra color, watching carefully.
- Finish and serve with fresh parsley, lemon slices, and an extra squeeze of lemon juice. Spoon the buttery pan juices over the salmon before serving.
