Ingredients
Broccoli
- 1 1/4 lbs broccoli crowns, stems cut and reserved for another use, florets chopped into bite-size pieces
- 2 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salmon
- 4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets
- 1 1/2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice (zest lemon first)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup lightly packed finely grated parmesan
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminium foil. Spray foil with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Place broccoli in a mound in the centre of baking sheet. Pour olive oil over broccoli along with garlic and toss to evenly coat.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste and spread near edges of the baking sheet, leaving enough space in the centre to fit salmon fillets.
-
(note that if you like your broccoli more browned and roasted then let it roast for 5 minutes first then remove and spread to edges, this just gives it a head start. If you like it crisp-tender and slightly roasted then no pre-roasting needed).
-
Season bottom of salmon with salt and pepper and place salmon in the centre of baking sheet, leaving about 3/4-inch between fillets so they can evenly cook.
-
In a mixing bowl whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic and brush about 1/2 Tbsp over each fillet. Season top with salt and pepper.
-
In a mixing bowl whisk together parmesan, bread crumbs, parsley, lemon zest and thyme, then drizzle 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil into the bowl and stir with a fork until evenly moistened. Spread parmesan mixture evenly over tops of salmon fillets.
-
Bake in preheated oven until salmon fillets have cooked through, about 12 – 15 minutes (for a more golden crust you can broil during the last 1 – 2 minutes of baking if needed).
