A delicious baked salmon that gets cooked in the oven with a luscious garlic butter lemon sauce. You’ll want to make this at least one night a week once you try it!

The best part about this meal: one pan! That's it. Hardly no clean up.  If you're wondering what this salmon tastes like, it's almost like shrimp scampi. Garlic, lemon, and butter. 3 easy and simple ingredients. This recipe will probably end up on your weekly menu rotation.

Have you ever had roasted broccoli before? It's delicious. The sides get super crispy almost like kale does when you roast that in the oven.

    I will half cook the broccoli in the microwave next time so that it will be cooked more to our liking. Otherwise, this was delicious.

    20 minutes was a little too long, IMO, for the salmon, but otherwise this was a very tasty meal.
