Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 400˚F. Grease a sheet pan with cooking spray.
Arrange broccoli florets and salmon fillets on the sheet pan. Rub minced garlic over each fillet. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
Pour the butter mixture over the salmon and veggies.
Take half of a lemon and squeeze lemon juice over everything; then, season with salt and pepper.
Place the sheet pan in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature is 145˚F degrees.
Remove from oven and garnish with parsley. Serve with lemon slices.
