2 cups broccoli florets
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
Roast the Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, ensuring they turn golden and crispy.
Add Broccoli:
After 20 minutes, add broccoli florets to the baking sheet. Roast alongside the potatoes for an additional 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Cook the Salmon:
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in minced garlic, lemon zest, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Sear the salmon fillets in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and flaky.
Assemble and Serve:
Plate the roasted potatoes and broccoli, then top with the seared salmon fillets. Drizzle the lemon-butter sauce from the skillet over the dish for extra flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley.
