A quick and easy one-pan meal featuring crispy salmon skin, roasted broccoli, and golden baby potatoes. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 cups broccoli florets, roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and halve or quarter the baby potatoes. Toss them in a mixing bowl with 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil, half the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on one side of a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes.
  4. While potatoes roast, toss broccoli florets in the remaining olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet and push the potatoes to one side. Add the broccoli on the other side in a single layer.
  6. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with a little olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika.
  7. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet between the potatoes and broccoli, leaving some space around them.
  8. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast everything for another 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the skin is crispy.
  9. Optional: Switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispy salmon skin, watching closely to avoid burning.
  10. Remove from oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or dill if desired.
  11. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness. Pat salmon skin dry before cooking to avoid sogginess. Broil for last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness but watch closely to prevent burning. Frozen broccoli can be used if thawed and patted dry. For dairy-free, use olive oil only. You can swap potatoes for sweet potatoes or broccoli for asparagus.
