Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets salmon skin-on or skinless
  • 1 lb baby potatoes halved
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • q.s. salt to taste
  • q.s. black pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Tongs (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
  3. Add broccoli florets, drizzle with remaining oil, and roast for another 15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Pat the salmon dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear each fillet for 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for about a minute. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, and lemon juice, stirring as the mixture simmers for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  6. Return salmon to the skillet, spooning sauce over each fillet. Cook for 2 more minutes before plating with roasted veggies and extra sauce on top. Sprinkle with parsley.
