How to Make It
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Season salmon with butter, garlic, herbs, and lemon.
- Roast salmon 12–15 minutes until it flakes easily.
- Cook rice and steam broccoli while the salmon roasts.
- Plate salmon over rice with broccoli alongside.
- Serve with dinner rolls and a garden salad on the side.
No-Time-For-That Tip: Salmon is done when it flakes with a fork but still looks slightly glossy in the center — pull it a minute early and let it rest.
