Description
An easy and delicious meal featuring seared salmon, crispy potatoes, and tender broccoli, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, add broccoli florets to the baking sheet with the potatoes. Roast for an additional 10 minutes until crispy and tender.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic, lemon zest, and juice. Sear the salmon fillets in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your preference.
- Plate the salmon over the roasted potatoes and broccoli. Drizzle with the lemon-butter sauce from the skillet. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in lemon juice and zest for 15-30 minutes before cooking. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet for optimal crispiness.
