Lemon Butter Salmon with Roasted Potatoes & Broccoli

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare potatoes & broccoli: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and half the lemon zest. Spread them on one side of the baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
  3. Add broccoli: After 15 minutes, toss the broccoli florets with the remaining olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper. Add them to the baking sheet with the potatoes and continue roasting for another 10 minutes.
  4. Prepare salmon: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the melted butter, remaining garlic, lemon juice, remaining zest, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add salmon to pan: Push the potatoes and broccoli to the sides and place the salmon fillets in the center. Spoon the lemon butter mixture over the salmon fillets evenly.
  6. Roast salmon: Return the pan to the oven and roast for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Garnish & serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with extra lemon wedges. Enjoy!
