Ingredients

Scale

For the Lemon Butter Salmon:

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Crispy Potatoes:

  • 4 medium potatoes, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Roasted Broccoli:

  • 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Crispy Potatoes: Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  • Roast Broccoli: On the same sheet, add the broccoli florets, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast alongside the potatoes for 15-20 minutes until tender.
  • Cook the Salmon: While the vegetables are roasting, heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked through.
  • Prepare Lemon Butter Sauce: Once the salmon is done, squeeze the lemon juice and add zest to the skillet. Stir to create a quick lemon butter sauce.
  • Serve: Plate the salmon fillets with crispy potatoes and roasted broccoli. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the salmon and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the lemon butter sauce for a little heat.
  • You can use baby potatoes for a more uniform size when roasting.
  • This dish pairs well with a light white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc.
