🛒 Ingredients — 2 Servings

  • 2 salmon fillets

  • 1 cup broccoli florets

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

  • 1 small zucchini, sliced

  • 2 tbsp melted butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Juice of ½ lemon

  • Salt & black pepper

  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning

  • Fresh parsley, optional


👨🍳 4 Easy Steps

1. Prepare the Pan

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place the salmon fillets in the center of a lined baking sheet.

Arrange broccoli, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes around the salmon.


2. Make the Garlic Butter

Mix together:

  • Melted butter

  • Minced garlic

  • Lemon juice

  • Italian seasoning

Brush the mixture over the salmon.

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and season everything with salt and black pepper.


3. Bake

Bake for approximately 12–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon.

The vegetables should be tender and lightly roasted.


4. Finish & Serve

Remove the pan from the oven.

Squeeze a little extra lemon juice over the salmon and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

That's it!

A complete dinner from just one pan.


⭐ ChefEase Kitchen Tip

Don't overcook your salmon!

Salmon continues cooking slightly after it comes out of the oven.

Start checking it near the end of the cooking time and remove it once it flakes easily with a fork.

A kitchen timer can help you keep those last few minutes under control.


🍋 Easy Ways to Customize It

Use whatever vegetables you already have at home.

Try:

  • 🫑 Bell peppers

  • 🥕 Carrots

  • 🥔 Baby potatoes

  • 🧅 Red onions

  • 🍄 Mushrooms

  • 🌱 Asparagus

You can also replace the Italian seasoning with paprika, chili flakes, or your favorite herb blend.

🧄 Small Tip, Big Difference

Let the salmon sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cooking.

This helps it cook more evenly and gives you a better texture.

And don't forget the lemon—a little acidity makes the garlic butter flavor taste brighter and fresher.
