Main Dish

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  3. Place salmon fillet in the same pan and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add olive oil to the pan and place broccoli florets around the salmon.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
  6. Sprinkle crisp bacon on top and serve.

Tips for One Pan Salmon with Broccoli and Bacon

  • Look for opaque flesh that separates into moist flakes; salmon can turn dry if left in the oven too long.
  • Cut broccoli florets to a similar size so they soften evenly; very small pieces may become overly browned.
  • Use a roomy oven-safe pan so the broccoli is not crowded and can roast rather than steam.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry rosé
Its fresh acidity balances the bacon's savory richness while complementing the salmon.

0% option: Sparkling water with lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and keep for 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the salmon may become less moist.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the salmon is done?
It should look opaque and separate into moist flakes when gently pressed with a fork. Check the thickest part, since a thin fillet cooks faster.

Can I use frozen salmon?
Thaw it fully in the refrigerator first and pat it dry so excess moisture does not interfere with browning.

What can I serve with this?
A simple green salad, crusty bread, or cooked grains make easy accompaniments without adding much preparation.
