Salmon and Broccoli is one of my favorite 20 minute sheet pan dinners. Sustainably caught Wild Alaskan Coho Salmon paired with a low-carb friendly lemon butter garlic sauce and broccoli make for the perfect Keto dinner.
Do you like salmon? I mean I love my Air Fryer Salmon recipe, salmon with shallot sauce, and let’s not forget black bean salmon croquettes! But sometimes I’m looking for an easy sheet pan dinner. Like this sheet pan salmon and broccoli.
If one of your goals is to eat healthier I have a delicious recipe for you. It’s low-carb, high-fat and perfect if your on the Keto diet. Or any diet where you need the high-fat/low-carb meal! This recipe for sheet pan Lemon Butter Garlic Salmon with Broccoli dinner is perfect. My family absolutely LOVED this dinner, and best of all it was made in under 30 minutes. This makes for the perfect weeknight dinner! We tend to eat seafood on Mondays or Fridays in my home–some weeks we eat it multiple times in a week.

Ingredients
- Coho Salmon Filet – One large fillet works best for this recipe.
- Salted Butter – This will help season the salmon; however, unsalted butter works too.
- Garlic – You can use fresh garlic or minced garlic in water.
- Parsley – Fresh parsley to mix with the garlic and butter.
- Lemon – A lemon for juicing and slices.
- Broccoli – Fresh chopped broccoli.
Directions
For this recipe you’ll preheat the oven. While the oven heats make the butter mixture.
Melt the butter, then add in the minced garlic, minced fresh parsley, lemon zest and juice. Stir well and place to the side.
Spray a baking sheet (affiliate link) with nonstick cooking spray. Then place the salmon on one side of the baking sheet, and the broccoli on the other side. Pour half the butter mixture on top of the salmon, and the rest on the broccoli. Toss the broccoli until well coated. Place lemon slices on top of salmon.
Bake the salmon for 15 minutes or until the salmon is fork tender. Once it’s done remove it from the oven, divide evenly among plates and enjoy!
