Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Salmon and Broccoli Sheet Pan Dinner.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
To make cleanup a breeze, line a 10x15-inch baking pan with aluminum foil.
Step 3
Next, spread the vibrant broccoli florets in a single layer on the prepared pan.
Step 4
Give them a gentle drizzle of 2 teaspoons of olive oil, then sprinkle on some minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of za'atar, and a dash of salt and pepper to bring out their natural flavors.
Step 5
Pop the broccoli into the oven and let it roast for about 10 minutes, just until it starts to soften and release its delicious aroma.
Step 6
While the broccoli is getting all tender and tasty, it’s time to prepare the star of the dish: the salmon.
Step 7
Drizzle the fillets with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle on the rest of the za'atar, along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 8
For a zesty touch, top each fillet with thin slices of fresh lemon.
Step 9
Once the broccoli has roasted for those 10 minutes, carefully add the salmon to the pan.
Step 10
Let everything roast together for another 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the broccoli is perfectly tender.
Step 11
When the timer goes off, take a moment to admire your creation before removing it from the oven.
Step 12
For a delightful finishing touch, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top just before serving.
Step 13
Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful dish that’s sure to impress!.
