Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets about 6 oz each
  • 1 lb baby potatoes halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley optional garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss halved potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, half the salt, and half the pepper, then spread evenly on the pan.
  3. Roast potatoes 15 minutes until starting to turn golden.
  4. In a bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, remaining salt, and pepper.
  5. Push potatoes slightly aside and place salmon fillets on the same pan.
  6. Brush salmon generously with lemon butter mixture.
  7. Roast 12–15 minutes more until salmon flakes easily and potatoes are crispy.
  8. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes evenly for uniform crisping.
  • Do not overcook salmon—remove when internal temperature reaches 125–130°F for moist results.
  • Broil 1–2 minutes at the end for extra crispy potato edges.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently.
