Description
A bright and flavorful one-pan meal featuring tender lemon butter salmon, crispy roasted potatoes, and perfectly seasoned broccoli — an easy, wholesome dinner ready in under 40 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170g each)
- 1 lb (450g) baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups (200g) broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1 tsp honey (optional, for balance)
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lemon slices and fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- In a bowl, toss halved potatoes with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in another bowl, toss broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and thyme.
- After 15 minutes, push the potatoes to one side of the baking sheet and add the broccoli.
- Place salmon fillets on the other side of the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, remaining olive oil, and honey (if using). Drizzle over the salmon and vegetables.
- Return to the oven and roast for 12–15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily and potatoes are golden.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, broil the salmon and vegetables for 1–2 minutes at the end.
- Use asparagus or green beans instead of broccoli for variation.
- Salmon can be swapped with trout or halibut.
- Perfect as a light, protein-rich weeknight dinner.
