Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

~10 min

2

Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and paprika.

~2 min

3

Arrange the broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and toss.

~3 min

4

Nestle the salmon among the vegetables and drizzle with a little more olive oil.

~1 min

5

Bake 15-18 minutes until the salmon and vegetables are cooked through.

~17 min

Watch out: Overbaking dries the salmon out — pull it when the center is still just slightly pink for a moist result.

6

Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.

~1 min

Why: A finishing squeeze of lemon juice cuts the fishy smell and adds a bright note.

Tips

  • —

    Place the salmon skin-side down so it retains more of its juices.

  • —

    No oven? Use an air fryer at 350°F (180°C) for 12-15 minutes instead.

  • —

    Cut the vegetables to similar sizes so they cook evenly.

Storage

Refrigerate 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer rather than the microwave to avoid drying it out.
