  5. Make the garlic butter sauce:
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and paprika.
  7. Add the salmon:

  9. Roast everything together:
  10. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender and golden.
