Sheet Pan Roasted Garlic Butter Salmon with Beets and Broccoli

Sheet Pan Roasted Garlic Butter Salmon with Beets and Broccoli

My go-to salmon recipes have always been Mustard-Maple Roasted Salmon or an easy Air Fried Salmon. I found this great one pan, easy cleanup recipe that was a hit with our whole family and it has quickly become a new favorite. One pan has vegetables, a protein, and you can even throw in potatoes if you like for an easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients

  • 1-2 14 oz cans beets, halved or quartered
  • 1 medium head broccoli (about 4 cups), cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil plus 2 tsp, divided
  • 1 tsp ground pepper, divided
  • ¾ tsp salt, divided
  • 6 medium cloves garlic, peeled
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3 Tbsp chopped fresh tender herbs (such as tarragon, chives and/or flat-leaf parsley), plus more for garnish
  • 4 (4-ounce) skinless salmon fillets, patted dry

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss quartered beets, broccoli pieces, 1 Tbsp oil, ½ tsp pepper and ¼ tsp salt on a large rimmed baking sheet; spread in an even layer.
  2. Place peeled garlic cloves on a small piece of foil; drizzle with the remaining 2 tsp oil, wrap tightly and place in the center of the vegetable mixture. Roast until the broccoli is tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. Combine 4 Tbsp butter, 3 Tbsp herbs and ¼ tsp salt in a medium bowl. Carefully unwrap the garlic and transfer it to the bowl. Mash with a fork until well combined. Toss the vegetable mixture with about 2 Tbsp of the garlic-herb butter and spread it back out in an even layer.
  4. Place the 4 salmon fillets among the vegetables. Season with the remaining ½ tsp pepper and ¼ tsp salt. Brush with the remaining garlic-herb butter. Roast until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Garnish with additional herbs, if desired.
Tuna and Chickpea Lettuce Wraps

Tuna and Chickpea Lettuce Wraps

After making tuna salad for the millionth time, I decided to look for another option and came across this great recipe. It’s filling, but not too heavy and is packed full of flavor. It comes together quickly and it’s great as a lettuce wrap filling or with crackers or on a sandwich.

Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed
  • 2 (5-ounce) can no-salt-added tuna in water, drained and flaked
  • ½ cup plain Greek-style yogurt
  • 5 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 medium stalk celery, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup chopped scallions, green onion, or chives
  • ¼ cup rinsed, drained capers
  • 2½ Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp no-salt-added everything bagel seasoning
  • ½ tsp ground pepper
  • ¼ tsp plus ⅛ tsp salt
  • 16 leaves butter lettuce, living lettuce, or other preferred lettuce

Directions

  1. Place rinsed chickpeas in a large bowl. Mash with a fork until some are completely smooth but most remain chunky. Add flaked drained tuna; stir to combine.
  2. Add yogurt, mayonnaise, sliced celery, scallions, capers, lemon juice, everything bagel seasoning, pepper, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.
  3. Divide the salad evenly among 16 lettuce leaves (about ¼ cup each), using about 3 to 4 leaves per serving. Serve and enjoy!
