Description

A beautifully baked salmon drizzled with mouthwatering lemon sauce, perfect for a weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb. small gold potatoes
  • 2-3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1-2 lbs. salmon filets
  • 6-8 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or basil)
  • Garlic, shallots, thyme, salt, and pepper


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the small gold potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes or until crispy and golden.
  3. While the potatoes are roasting, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic, shallots, and thyme, sautéing until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, letting it simmer until thickened. Remove the thyme sprigs and whisk in the lemon juice and fresh herbs.
  5. After 25 minutes, add the broccoli florets and salmon filets to the baking sheet with the potatoes. Brush with olive oil and season appropriately. Return to the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
  6. Serve the salmon drizzled with the lemon sauce alongside the crispy potatoes and vibrant broccoli.

Notes

If you’re looking for alternatives, you can swap heavy cream for coconut milk for a lighter version or use asparagus instead of broccoli for variety.
