Lemon Butter Salmon with Crispy Potatoes and Broccoli

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

  • You can substitute fresh salmon with frozen, just ensure it’s fully thawed before cooking.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the lemon butter sauce for a subtle kick.
  • Make sure to adjust the cooking time for the salmon based on its thickness.
