Ingredients
Scale
4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves of garlic, minced
Juice and zest of 1 large lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet, cut side down, and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
While the potatoes are roasting, pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice and zest, simmer for another minute.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a dash of olive oil. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 5-6 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
Drizzle lemon butter sauce over cooked salmon. Toss roasted potatoes with any leftover lemon butter sauce.
Plate salmon with crispy potatoes, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve.
