One-Pan Oven Roasted Salmon and Broccolini

This One-Pan Oven Roasted Salmon and Broccolini is one of those easy dinners that checks all the boxes - quick, healthy, and minimal cleanup. Everything cooks together on a single pan, making it perfect for busy weeknights when you want something nourishing without a lot of effort.

The combination of salmon, broccolini, garlic, lemon, and dill is simple but incredibly flavorful. The salmon turns out tender and flaky, while the broccolini roasts just enough to become lightly charred and tender. It's a straightforward, reliable meal that feels a little fancy without requiring extra work.

About Broccolini

Broccolini is a green vegetable similar to broccoli, but with smaller florets and longer, thinner stalks. It's actually a natural hybrid of broccoli and Chinese broccoli (gai lan).

I grew up eating both broccoli and gai lan regularly at home, so it's no surprise I love broccolini. It's more tender and slightly milder than traditional Chinese broccoli, which makes it especially great for roasting - no long cook time needed.

How to cook One-Pan Oven Roasted Salmon and Broccolini (Step by Step)

First, gather your ingredients:

• 3 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• 1 bunch broccolini (about 8-10 oz), trimmed
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ lemon, thinly sliced
• ½ teaspoon dried dill
• Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and preheat oven to 450°F. Technically you don't need the aluminum foil, but I just personally find it a lot easier to deal with the clean up when you use aluminum foil.

Pat salmon dry and place on the baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and dried dill.

Arrange broccolini alongside the salmon. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and toss lightly to coat. Sprinkle minced garlic evenly over both the salmon and broccolini.

Place lemon slices on top of the salmon fillets.

Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the broccolini is tender with lightly crisp edges.

Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Tip: If your broccolini stalks are especially thick, you can slice them lengthwise before roasting for more even cooking.

Storage & Reheating

Storage:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Reheating:
Reheat gently in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or use the microwave in short intervals. Avoid overheating to keep the salmon tender.

FAQ

Can I use broccoli instead of broccolini?

Yes. Cut broccoli into small florets and thin stems so everything cooks evenly in the same time.

Can I use a different herb?

Absolutely. Fresh dill, parsley, thyme, or even a little rosemary all work well with salmon.

How do I know when salmon is done?

Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
