A quick and healthy one-pan salmon dinner with garlic butter sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs salmon, skin removed and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (plus lemon wedges for serving)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat salmon dry. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook 2–3 minutes. Add zucchini and broccoli and cook 5–7 minutes, stirring, until crisp-tender. Transfer veggies to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp butter. Add salmon pieces in a single layer and sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned and just cooked through (work in batches if needed).
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tbsp butter and minced garlic; cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice and (optional) red pepper flakes.
  5. Return veggies to the skillet and toss everything together until glossy and heated through. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine to the garlic butter sauce.
  • Serve over rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
