How do I make this Healthy Baked Salmon Recipe?

  • We baked this salmon & broccoli in foil ‘pouches’ for easy cleanup. Added a 2-3 ounce piece of salmon to each pouch, then sprinkled broccoli all around.
  • Create a foil pouch by pinching each 4 sides of a piece of foil- pinch the top, allowing the salmon and broccoli to steam.
  • Drizzled the salmon with salt, pepper, and a pat of butter. Top with sliced lemons, and rough chopped garlic.  That’s it!

What other vegetables can I use?

  • Add fresh herbs, parsley, oregano, sage, rosemary, dill, a mixture of these would be great.
  • Asparagus
  • Cauliflower
  • Zucchini
  • Brussel Sprouts
  • Green Beans
  • Carrots

Not a fan of lemon & garlic? Another idea: sprinkle with taco seasoning. Add one cup of fresh corn and a quarter cup diced red bell pepper in place of the broccoli.  A Tex-Mex inspired twist!

How can I make this salmon & broccoli even healthier?

Skip the butter. Just a drizzle of olive oil will do .  Buy fresh veggies- organic is always best and really does taste great.

What can I serve with this salmon & broccoli dinner?

Serve with white/brown rice or quinoa. Throw some oven baked rice in and you got yourself a real easy meal! Another great side dish would be this cucumber and tomato quinoa salad,  or this easy & simple chickpea salad. Yum!
