Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast the potatoes for about 20 minutes until golden brown and fork-tender.
  4. Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. After 20 minutes, add broccoli to the baking sheet and roast for an additional 15–20 minutes.
  5. In a skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  6. Add fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the skillet to create the lemon butter sauce.
  7. Add salmon fillets to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 4–5 minutes without moving, then flip and cook another 3–4 minutes until flaky.
  8. Plate the crispy potatoes and broccoli, then place the salmon on top. Drizzle with lemon butter sauce.
  9. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and chopped parsley before serving.
