Method

1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.

2

Toss zucchini and red onion with olive oil, half the minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan in a single layer.

3

Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast vegetables for 12–15 minutes until tender and lightly browned.

4

Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once foaming, place salmon skin-side up and cook 4–5 minutes until skin is crispy and golden.

5

Flip salmon, add remaining 2 tbsp butter and minced garlic to the pan, and cook 3–4 minutes more until the flesh is opaque and internal temperature reaches 145°F.

6

Divide roasted vegetables among four plates. Top each with one salmon fillet.

7

Spoon warm garlic butter sauce over the salmon, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the plate, and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
