Ingredients

Units Scale

Salmon and Lemon Butter Sauce

  • 4 fillets salmon (6 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 2 lemons (1 for juice, 1 for slices)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetables and Seasonings

  • 4 medium potatoes (about 2 lbs), washed and cut into small cubes
  • 1 lb broccoli florets
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper if you prefer easier cleanup.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes if desired, then cut them into small cubes. Toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
  3. Bake Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes on one half of the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  4. Make Lemon Butter Sauce: While potatoes bake, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the juice of one lemon and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
  5. Prepare Salmon: Season salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. After the potatoes have been in the oven for about 15 minutes, push them to one side of the baking sheet and place the salmon fillets in the cleared space.
  6. Assemble Sheet Pan: Spoon the lemon butter mixture generously over the salmon, then place lemon slices on top of each fillet. Arrange broccoli florets on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Roast Everything: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and broccoli is tender.
  8. Rest and Garnish: Remove from oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
  9. Serve: Plate the salmon alongside the crispy potatoes and roasted broccoli, and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • You can peel the potatoes or leave the skins on for extra texture and nutrients.
  • Adjust lemon juice and garlic quantities to your taste preferences.
  • For crispier potatoes, make sure to spread them out in a single layer without overcrowding.
  • Use fresh parsley to add a burst of color and fresh flavor at the end.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
