How to make Garlic Butter Baked Salmon

Step 2: On the prepared sheet pan, arrange the broccoli florets and salmon fillets. Over each fillet, rub the minced garlic. Set aside.
Step 3: Place the melted butter, brown sugar, oregano, thyme, and rosemary in a mixing bowl. Mix well until incorporated. Pour this over the salmon and veggies, then squeeze half of a lemon over them. To taste, season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: In the preheated oven, place the sheet pan and cook the salmon for about 15 minutes or until the fish is easily flaked using a fork and its internal temperature reached 145 degrees F.
Step 5: Remove the salmon from the oven when done and serve garnished with parsley and lemon slices. Enjoy!
Notes:
Cool the cooked salmon completely. Place it in an airtight container, then store in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
After completely cooling the cooked salmon, place it in covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags and store it in the freezer for up to 4 months.
