Many of my clients say they love ordering seafood when they go out to eat. I LOVE sharing easy and delicious seafood recipes as healthy, make-at-home dinner options. Regularly consuming well-prepared seafood benefits your brain, heart, waistline, and muscles. Seafood is an excellent, high-protein, lower-calorie, nutrient-dense, omega-3-loaded food. However, finding restaurant-quality, cook-at-home seafood was challenging until I discovered that City Seafood delivers fresh-cut fish fillets directly to your front door, making it easy to build your own box or choose from their curated options.
Everyone can serve a fantastic fish dish for their family dinner. This sheet pan meal is a go-to in my house for a quick, easy dinner with something for everyone.
Roasted Lemon Garlic Salmon With Broccoli and Carrots
- 1 -2 lb Salmon fillets (cod or halibut can be substituted)
- 2 bunch broccoli stems removed and cut into florets
- 1 cup thinly sliced carrots

- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 lemons sliced
- non-stick cooking spray
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and place Salmon on one end of the pan.
- Mix minced garlic and coconut oil in a bowl.
- Brush about 2 TBSP of the mixture over the Salmon.
- Mix the remaining oil mixture and veggies to coat the veggies. Then, spread the veggies on the other side of the pan.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the Salmon and veggies to taste.
- Place lemon slices over the Salmon. Spread the rest around the sheet pan.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, depending on the thickness of the Salmon.
Serve with a small 'sample' serving of quinoa or rice.
