Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
- Place the salmon fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
- On the other side of the baking sheet, arrange the broccoli florets. Drizzle the remaining garlic butter mixture over the broccoli, and toss to coat evenly. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the broccoli is tender and slightly crisp.
- Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the garlic butter salmon and broccoli warm, garnished with lemon wedges if desired. Enjoy your delicious keto-friendly meal!
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh salmon fillets and vibrant broccoli florets. Fresh ingredients make a noticeable difference in taste and texture.
- Don’t Overcook the Salmon: Keep an eye on the salmon as it cooks. It should be flaky and opaque when done. If you have a meat thermometer, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables like asparagus or zucchini to the sheet pan for variety. Just ensure they have similar cooking times.
- Make It Ahead: You can prepare the garlic butter mixture in advance and store it in the fridge. Just brush it on the salmon and broccoli before baking for a quick meal.
- Garnish for Extra Flavor: Enhance your dish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill, or add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
- Use Parchment Paper: Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper not only makes cleanup easier but also prevents sticking, ensuring your salmon and broccoli come out perfectly.With these tips in hand, you’re all set to create a delightful keto meal that’s sure to impress!
