Ingredients:
-
4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
-
2 tsp dried dill (or 1 tbsp fresh chopped dill)
-
1 cup baby potatoes, halved
-
1 cup green beans or asparagus
-
Lemon slices, for garnish
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven:
Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup. -
Prep the veggies:
Toss potatoes and green beans with half the olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread them on the sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes. -
Season the salmon:
While the veggies cook, rub the salmon with the remaining olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and dill. Season with salt and pepper. -
Add salmon to pan:
After 10 minutes, move the veggies to the sides and place salmon fillets in the center. Add lemon slices on top if desired. -
Finish roasting:
Bake everything for another 12–15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and veggies are tender. -
Serve:
Garnish with extra fresh dill and serve warm — straight from the pan!
Sarah’s Tips:
-
No salmon? This works beautifully with cod or trout too!
-
Extra flavor: Drizzle with a little Dijon vinaigrette or Greek yogurt sauce.
-
Speed it up: Use pre-steamed potatoes or microwave them for 3–4 minutes before roasting.
