MADDIE DAY here. Christmas and Hanukkah are over for the year, and I wanted to make a simple, healthy dinner for tonight that I didn't have to think too much about. I had a piece of salmon and a head of broccoli, plus a fresh baguette.
My son and his wife, who are staying with us for a few more days, are vegetarians who occasionally eat fish, and they're giving my granddaughter tastes of it, too.
So I bring you baked salmon and broccoli.
Baked Salmon and Broccoli
Ingredients
1 pound salmon filet
3 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2 cup white wine
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil into a 9" x 11" baking dish. Add salmon skin down into middle of pan and arrange broccoli around the edges. Spread mustard over salmon. Drizzle rest of olive oil over broccoli. Sprinkle wine over fish.

Cover with foil and bake for twenty minutes or until middle of salmon is opaque, not translucent.
Serve with crusty bread and butter, or over rice.

Thank you so much for the delicious sounding Baked Salmon and Broccoli recipe! We love anything fish.
ReplyDeleteSince we will be gone most of the day/ We are heading to see and photograph the Trumpeter Swans that migrate into 3 ponds about 40 miles from us. Since we were blessed to dine yesterday with our Mennonite friends, there are no leftovers. Tonight's supper will be super easy - sloppy joe on bun and homemade fries and a big glass of tea since it's suppose to be unseasonably warm today (high 70's). I will have to say though, it doesn't sound near as good after reading your recipe.

This sounds like an easy and deliciously healthy meal, Edith! We introduced our granddaughters to salmon very early on in their lives, and my youngest frequently asked me to cook "pink fish" for her :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this uncomplicated but wonderfully tasting recipe, Edith! I can immediately "taste" your salmon in my mind because we have baked salmon in a similar way, and I am now craving to eat it again! We usually have many leftovers after any holiday, so we try to take it easy and heat up leftovers...that way we have more time to read :-) I wish you and your family, plus all my MLK friends a very Healthy, blessed and prosperous 2026 full of love!

ReplyDeleteI haven't had a good dish of salmon, for a long time. I blame the cost of salmon, of course.
