Description

A bright and flavorful sheet-pan style meal featuring tender lemon-butter salmon, crispy golden potatoes, and roasted broccoli for a complete, easy, and healthy dinner.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon (zest + juice)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon slices, for topping
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Toss the halved potatoes with 1½ tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread on the sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Remove the pan from the oven. Add broccoli to one side and drizzle with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Place salmon fillets in the center of the pan. Spoon the lemon-butter mixture over the salmon.
  6. Top salmon with lemon slices.
  7. Return sheet pan to oven and roast 12–15 minutes, or until salmon is flaky and potatoes are crisp.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Add chili flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Use asparagus instead of broccoli for a spring version.
  • For extra crisp potatoes, soak them in cold water for 10 minutes before roasting.
  • Switch butter for ghee for a richer flavor.
