Equipment

2 large pieces of foil
1 large baking tray

Ingredients

2.5 lb salmon with skin
2 large broccoli heads
2 large red bell peppers
1 lemon

Garlic Butter

½ cup butter melted
3 cloves garlic minced
⅓ cup parsley finely chopped
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F. Then, prepare a large baking tray with a piece of foil double its length. Keep some extra foil paper at hand because you’ll need it.
Place the salmon fillets, with the skin down, in the prepared baking tray on the foil.
Prepare the garlic butter by mixing melted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, ground black pepper, and salt.
Then, brush each fillet with the prepared garlic butter.
Chop the red bell peppers into strips and broccoli into florets.
Arrange chopped red bell pepper strips and broccoli florets around salmon. If needed, you can use a different tray for the veggies.
Finally, cover the salmon and veggies with foil pepper, using an extra piece if needed.
Bake for 20 minutes covered, then remove the top layer of foil to brown salmon and veggies. This will take another 15 to 20 minutes.

Notes

● After removing the top layer of foil, check it every couple of minutes, so it doesn´t overcook.
● Add different veggies like asparagus, cauliflower, or onion.
