Ingredients
- 1 Lb. skinless boneless salmon filet
- 1/2 stick butter
- 2 teaspoon each garlic onion and paprika divided
- 1 Tbsp. chopped Italian parsley
- 4 cups cleaned and trimmed broccoli florets
- 3 peeled and thinly sliced medium potatoes
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes sliced in half
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lemon sliced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400- degrees
- Start by preparing the vegetables in a bowl add the prepared broccoli, potatoes and tomatoes. Drizzle with the olive oil , one teaspoon of garlic, onion, and paprika powder salt and pepper to taste.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper lay the vegetables on top and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- In the meantime prepare the salmon, by washing and patting dry then salt and pepper to taste. Make the compound butter. by adding the remaining garlic, onion and paprika, add the chopped Italian parsley. Mix to combine.
- remove the vegetables from the oven lay the salmon filet on top of the precooked vegetables. Top with the compound butter add lemon slices from one lemon. Return back to the oven and bake 10-12 minutes longer or when the salmon is cooked but still flaky. If the ends of the salmon are thinner fold them under to prevent overcooking.
Notes
Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is best when it flakes easily but is still moist in the center. Since vegetables can require more time than the fish, start roasting the vegetables first and add the salmon to the pan later. This way, everything finishes cooking at about the same time. Chef's tip: A squeeze of fresh lemon over the salmon immediately after it comes out of the oven makes a big difference—it brightens the entire dish.
