Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (170 g each)
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 30 ml fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lemon slices, for garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- 680 g baby potatoes, halved
- 45 ml olive oil
- 5 g garlic powder
- 5 g paprika
- 450 g broccoli florets
- 30 ml olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 5 g lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- Set oven to 220°C. Prepare a large baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- While potatoes are roasting, toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
- After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet and add broccoli around the potatoes. Return to oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes until potatoes are golden and broccoli is tender.
- Meanwhile, melt butter over medium heat in a skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until aromatic. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Push garlic to the side of the skillet. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip each fillet and continue cooking another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and flaky.
- Arrange crispy potatoes and roasted broccoli beside the salmon. Spoon lemon butter sauce over the salmon. Garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For more flavor, add herbs like thyme or dill to the lemon butter sauce.
- If you prefer, you can use other vegetables like asparagus instead of broccoli.
