Preheat & Prep Your Pan
- First things first, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. This is crucial for easy cleanup and preventing sticking!
Season the Salmon & Vegetables
- In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets and lemon slices. Drizzle with olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated. Now, arrange the seasoned broccoli and lemon slices in a single layer on one side of your prepared sheet pan.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the sheet pan, leaving a little space between each fillet and the vegetables. This helps everything roast rather than steam.
Roast to Perfection
- Place the sheet pan in your preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes.
The Garlic-Herb Butter Finish
- While the salmon and vegetables are roasting, prepare your secret weapon! In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, and fresh chopped parsley. Stir until well combined. This is your luscious compound butter.
- After the initial 12-15 minutes of baking, carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven. Spoon or spread a generous amount of the Garlic-Herb Butter over each salmon fillet. Return the pan to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The butter will melt, creating a fragrant, rich coating that seeps into the fish.
