Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets: 2 about 6 oz each or 170g
  • Potatoes: 4 medium-sized about 8 oz or 227g each
  • Olive oil: 3 tbsp 45 ml
  • Garlic: 3 cloves minced
  • Lemon: 1 zest and juice
  • Rosemary: 2 sprigs fresh (or 2 tsp dried)
  • Salt: 1 tsp 5g
  • Black pepper: ½ tsp 2.5g
  • Paprika: ½ tsp 2.5g
  • Asparagus: 10 spears optional

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep: Begin by setting your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it’s warming up, line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Potato Prep: Wash the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks. Spread them across half of the baking tray.
  • Salmon Prep: Place the salmon fillets on the other half of the tray. Ensure there’s a tiny space between the potatoes and the salmon.
  • Flavor Time: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Drizzle this mixture over both the salmon and the potatoes.
  • Herb Sprinkle: Tear the fresh rosemary leaves off their stems and sprinkle them over the salmon and potatoes. If you’re using dried rosemary, sprinkle it over as is.
  • Oven Magic: Pop the tray into the preheated oven. Allow the salmon and potatoes to bake for about 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, give the potatoes a gentle stir for an even roast.
  • Asparagus Option: If you’re adding asparagus, toss them in some olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add them to the tray during the last 8 minutes of baking.

Notes

TIPS
  1. Skin On or Off: Personal preference rules here. Some love the crispy skin, while others prefer skinless. The choice is yours!
  2. Potato Variety: Using baby potatoes? No need to cut them. Red or Yukon Gold? They have a slightly creamier texture, perfect for roasting.
  3. Check for Doneness: Ensure your salmon flakes easily with a fork. If it’s translucent in the center, it needs a little more time.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
  • Fresh Salad: Pair your Baked Salmon Roasted Potatoes with a green salad. Lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber with a simple vinaigrette is a winner.
  • Lemon Wedges: A squeeze of fresh lemon right before eating enhances the flavors.
  • Sauce: Fancy a sauce? A simple dill and yogurt sauce can elevate the dish even more.
