Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon filet
- 2 cups baby potatoes
- 2 cups green beans
Marinade and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (juice of one lemon)
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the baby potatoes in half and microwave them for 2-3 minutes until they are fork-tender to ensure they cook evenly with the salmon.
- Mix Marinade: While the potatoes are microwaving, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, dried dill, ground ginger, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create a flavorful marinade.
- Arrange Ingredients on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the salmon filet in the center, then add the green beans and pre-cooked baby potatoes around it.
- Coat with Marinade: Drizzle the olive oil and spice mixture evenly over the salmon, green beans, and potatoes, making sure to toss the vegetables so they are well-coated for an even flavor.
- Bake: Bake everything in the preheated oven at 425°F for 15 minutes. This allows the salmon to cook through and the vegetables to roast nicely.
- Broil for Browning: Switch your oven to broil and broil the salmon and vegetables for an additional 3-5 minutes until the salmon is lightly browned on top and vegetables have a nice roasted finish.
Notes
- Microwaving the potatoes before baking helps to ensure they cook fully and faster.
- Broiling at the end adds a nice caramelized finish to the salmon and vegetables.
- You can substitute green beans for asparagus or other quick-roasting vegetables.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- Use fresh herbs if available for enhanced flavor.
