Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon and Vegetables:

  • 4 salmon fillets – Fresh, high-quality salmon
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

The Lemon Butter Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Roast the Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, add the broccoli florets, drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, toss gently, and roast for an additional 15 minutes until both are golden and crispy.
  2. Sear the Salmon: While vegetables are roasting, season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbling. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove salmon and set aside on a plate.
  3. Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken or vegetable broth and scrape browned bits from the pan. Stir in heavy cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Stir in chopped fresh parsley.
  4. Combine and Serve: Return salmon fillets to skillet and spoon lemon butter sauce over them. Cook for 2 more minutes to warm the salmon and meld flavors. Serve by plating the roasted potatoes and broccoli first, then placing a salmon fillet on top. Drizzle with extra lemon butter sauce and garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality salmon for best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
  • Baby potatoes should be halved evenly for uniform roasting.
  • You can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth to keep the dish vegetarian-friendly (but note that salmon is not vegetarian).
  • Allow the salmon to rest a few minutes after searing if desired for juicier texture.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or omit for a broth-based sauce.
