Description
A simple and flavorful one-pan meal featuring tender salmon and crispy smashed potatoes, all coated in a bright lemon-garlic sauce. Perfect for a healthy and easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tsp salt, divided
- 0.5 tsp black pepper, divided
- 1 lb salmon fillet
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Boil baby potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
- On a large baking sheet, toss the boiled potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp pepper.
- Gently smash each potato with the bottom of a glass or mug.
- Arrange the smashed potatoes on one side of the baking sheet.
- Pat the salmon fillet dry and place it on the other side of the baking sheet.
- Rub the salmon with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, remaining 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp pepper.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- While the salmon and potatoes bake, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the minced garlic in a little olive oil over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, until slightly reduced.
- Stir in the butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the lemon-garlic sauce over the salmon and potatoes.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 5-8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are well-drained to achieve crispy texture.
- Adjust lemon juice to your preference.
- Salmon cooking time may vary based on thickness.
