Sheet Pan Lemon Garlic Salmon
We eat salmon once a week and here is why! I try to find different ways to cook it but this recipe below and my Parmesan Crusted Salmon are my two favorites (so far).
Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets (I prefer skinless but if you can’t find it, just take the skin off after you’re done cooking)
- 1 pound red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons garlic
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 bunches asparagus (I forgot to buy this so I used 1 can of green beans)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Cut potatoes to bite size pieces
- In a bowl, toss together potatoes with the olive oil, 1 tablespoon of garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Spread out in an even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet
- Cook for 15 minutes
- Push potatoes to two sides of the sheet pan and arrange salmon down the center
- Rub salmon evenly with 2 tablespoons of the garlic and 2 tablespoons of parsley
- Add the asparagus between the salmon and potatoes
- Combine 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 1/4 cup of the melted butter together and pour the mixture over the salmon and asparagus
- Return to oven and continue baking for 15 minutes
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- Enjoy!!
