Ingredients
 

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Juice of ½ large lemon
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt
  • ¾ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 Tablespoons minced fresh herbs (I recommend dill, oregano, and/or rosemary)
  • 1.5 lbs. Baby potatoes (halved)
  • 4 6 oz skin-on salmon fillets

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with a neutral cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic and herbs.
  • Toss the potatoes with all but about 1 ½ Tablespoons of the olive oil mixture. Spread them out on the sheet pan, cut side down and bake for 15 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are baking, pat the salmon dry, then brush with remaining olive oil mixture.
  • Toss the potatoes, then nestle the salmon filets among them. Return the pan to the oven and bake another 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are tender and salmon flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees.

Notes

  • Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and eaten within 3 days.
  • If you're using dried herbs, be sure to reduce the amounts by half.
  • Cut your potatoes into uniform sizes. This may mean some need halved and some need quartered.
  • Keep in mind that the size of your salmon fillets and potatoes will impact the total cook time. Thicker pieces of salmon may need a few extra minutes to be fully cooked.
