Ingredients:
For the Salmon & Veggies:
4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
1 lb baby potatoes (halved)
2 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Creamy Lemon Butter Sauce:
3 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
Directions:
Preheat & Roast the Veggies:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes.
Add the Broccoli:
Toss broccoli with the remaining olive oil, add to the baking sheet, and roast for another 15 minutes, until golden and tender.
Sear the Salmon:
Season the fresh salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a little oil, and sear salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, until crispy and golden. Remove and set aside.
Make the Creamy Lemon Butter Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and fresh lemon juice, stirring well. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Bring It All Together:
Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon the buttery lemon garlic sauce over the fillets. Let it cook for another 2 minutes.
Serve & Enjoy!
Plate the perfectly seared salmon with roasted potatoes and broccoli. Drizzle extra lemon butter sauce over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.
