Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 2 lbs fresh salmon fillets (wild or farmed, skin-on or skinless)

Vegetables

  • 1 lb baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and halved
  • 3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen, patted dry)

Seasonings and Oils

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Herbs and Citrus

  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or thyme), chopped
  • 1 lemon, juiced (or lime as an alternative)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Wash and halve the potatoes to ensure even cooking. Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets and pat the salmon fillets dry. Preparing these ingredients ahead keeps the process smooth and efficient.
  2. Season the Vegetables: Toss the potatoes and broccoli in olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet to promote crisp roasting.
  3. Roast the Vegetables First: Roast broccoli and potatoes in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes. This step ensures the potatoes become tender and the broccoli slightly caramelized.
  4. Add the Salmon: After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet and push the vegetables to the sides. Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the center, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and sprinkle fresh herbs over the top. Return to the oven for another 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once cooked, let the dish rest for a few minutes. Add a final sprinkle of fresh herbs and an extra squeeze of lemon juice to elevate the flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Choose potatoes and broccoli florets of even size for uniform cooking.
  • Pat salmon fillets dry to promote browning and avoid steaming.
  • Roast at 400°F (200°C) for a crispy finish on vegetables and perfectly cooked salmon.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to allow proper roasting and prevent steaming.
  • Allow salmon to rest after baking for moist and tender fish.
