Equipment

  • 16.5 x 11.38 x 1 inches Baking Sheet - Set of 2

Ingredients
  

Potatoes

  • 1 pound fingerling potatoes washed and cut in half
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon pepper or to taste

Salmon

  • 4 fillets salmon skinless

Sauce

  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 tablespoon butter unsalted, melted
  • ¼ cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 lemon lemon cut in slices for garnish
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
  • In a large bowl add the potatoes, olive oil, ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper. Toss well. Spread them out in an even layer on a baking sheet and place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 15 minutes until they just start to soften and turn golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, rub the salmon with the garlic. In a small bowl combine the melted butter with the lemon juice, remaining salt and pepper.
  • Push the potatoes to one side of the baking sheet and arrange the salmon down the other side. Pour the butter/lemon mixture over the salmon.
  • Return the baking pan back to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes or until the salmon is opaque and cooked through.
  • Garnish with parsley and lemon slices and serve warm.

Notes

Your leftovers will last 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. The salmon will reheat well in the microwave at 20-30 second intervals until heated through. You can also reheat on the stovetop over medium heat, but keep a close eye on your filets so they don't dry out. Want to freeze leftovers? They'll last 3-4 months. Since salmon can dry out easily, let the filets thaw in the fridge a day before you plan on eating them, then reheat using either the microwave or stovetop.
