_Sips coffee_ Ladies and gents, let me tell you about a dish that’s about to become your new weeknight obsession – and trust me, it’s way better than hitting that drive-thru again! Today, I’m sharing my absolute favorite Lemon Garlic Butter Salmon with Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables. It’s fancy enough for date night but easy enough that you won’t break a sweat making it.
Y’all, as a busy woman who loves good food but hates complicated recipes, this one’s my go-to when I want to feel like a kitchen goddess without spending hours over the stove. The best part? It’s packed with protein and healthy fats that’ll make your skin glow (and who doesn’t want that?).
Here’s what you’ll need (shopping list ready?):
– 4 salmon fillets
– 4 tablespoons butter
– 4 cloves garlic (vampires, beware!)
– 1 lemon
– Mixed Mediterranean veggies (I use zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and bell peppers)
– Fresh herbs (rosemary and thyme are my faves)
– Olive oil
– Salt and pepper
Now, let’s get cooking!
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating up, season those gorgeous salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
1. In a small pan, melt the butter with minced garlic and lemon juice. _chef’s kiss_ The smell alone will make your kitchen feel like a fancy restaurant!
1. Place your seasoned salmon on a baking sheet and drizzle with that heavenly garlic butter sauce.
1. Around the salmon, arrange your chopped veggies, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with herbs.
1. Pop it in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
