Oven Baked Salmon with Broccoli (Sheet Pan )

The method

1. 01

   In a bowl, combine a couple cloves of minced garlic with extra virgin olive oil, hot pepper flakes, kosher sea salt, and some freshly cracked pepper.

2. 02

   Add broccoli and toss. 

3. 03

   Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil and place the vegetables around the perimeter of the sheet pan, leaving room for the fish in the middle.

4. 04

   In a second small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise with a little soy sauce, lemon juice, and salt. 

5. 05

   Place the fish in the middle of the sheet pan and coat it with the sauce, making sure to get the sides as well. 

6. 06

   In a third small mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and lemon zest.

7. 07

   Generously apply breadcrumb mixture on top of the salmon steaks. 

8. 08

   Bake for 15 minutes @ 400°F. To check for doneness, insert a fork in the center of the salmon steak…it should flake easily. And the vegetables should have a nice “al dente” bite. 

9. 09

   Serve with a glass of Chardonnay.
