Lemon Butter Salmon with Roasted Potatoes & Broccoli

Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets (skinless or skin-on)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes (halved)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Lemon Butter Sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes:
    In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on one side of the baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
  3. Add the Broccoli:
    While the potatoes are roasting, toss the broccoli florets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. After 15 minutes, add the broccoli to the baking sheet with the potatoes and continue roasting for another 10 minutes.
  4. Prepare the Salmon:
    Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and honey.
  5. Add the Salmon to the Baking Sheet:
    Push the roasted vegetables to the sides of the baking sheet and place the salmon fillets in the center. Brush each fillet generously with the lemon butter sauce.
  6. Bake the Salmon:
    Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Garnish and Serve:
    Drizzle any remaining lemon butter sauce over the salmon and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve hot with the roasted potatoes and broccoli.
