Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lemon slices, for garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes, or until they start to become golden and crispy.
- While the potatoes are baking, season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, lemon juice, and remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side and add the broccoli florets to the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Nestle the salmon fillets between the potatoes and broccoli on the baking sheet. Drizzle the lemon butter mixture over the salmon fillets.
- Return the entire pan to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the potatoes are crispy.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices, and serve immediately.
Notes
Feel free to swap out the broccoli for other vegetables like asparagus, green beans, or Brussels sprouts. You can also substitute the salmon with chicken breasts or shrimp, adjusting the cooking time as necessary. For added flavor, experiment with different herbs and spices, such as dill, thyme, or paprika.
