Description

A delightful dish of seared salmon topped with a tangy lemon butter sauce, served alongside crispy baby potatoes and sautéed broccoli.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prep the potatoes: In a large baking dish, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out evenly.
  3. Roast the potatoes for about 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden.
  4. Sizzle the garlic: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about one minute.
  5. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  6. Cook the salmon: Season salmon fillets and add them to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
  7. Sauté the broccoli in another pan with olive oil until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Serve the salmon topped with lemon butter sauce, alongside the crispy potatoes and sautéed broccoli, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute ghee for butter. Ensure the salmon is patted dry before seasoning for the best sear.
