When life is just too busy at 5 p.m., homemade dinners like this are always appreciated. You’ll enjoy the robust herb flavors paired with garlic, lemon, and pepper. A little butter adds richness and you can even roast vegetables at the same time making this a convenient dish. We often serve everything with brown rice or a side salad. Honey garlic soy glazed salmon is equally easy and satisfying and if you’re in the mood for chicken, I always love this cilantro lime chicken.

Enjoy All the Flavor
Brushing the salmon fillets with a smidgen of melted butter is key to its fantastic flavor. This helps the herb mixture on top stick while keeping the cooked centers extra moist and tender. After you brush each salmon fillet with butter, spread your herb mixture on top. We usually use rosemary and parsley as the herbs, then mix in garlic and freshly ground black pepper. A squeeze of lemon rounds out all these savory flavors. You can even add your favorite vegetable to the baking sheet to cook it at the same time as the salmon. Some options are brussels sprouts, sliced zucchini, cut asparagus, or broccoli. Feel free to add another squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of salt & pepper on top of the vegetables. That’s all you do. Dinner tonight is this simple. When a dinner recipe delivers on taste AND requires so little effort, it’s a major win.
