Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 1 large Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a large baking dish or lining it with parchment paper.
Peel and slice the Yukon Gold potatoes into thin, even rounds (about 1/4 inch thick).
Spread the sliced potatoes over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Toss the potatoes to coat evenly, then arrange them into a single, overlapping layer.
Place the baking dish with the potatoes into the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Grate the garlic cloves into the mixture, and add juice from half the lemon, 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley, 0.5 teaspoons of paprika, and 0.25 teaspoon of red pepper flakes if desired. Stir to combine.
Remove the potatoes from the oven after 20 minutes. Arrange the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on top of the partially cooked potatoes.
Brush the garlic-lemon mixture generously over the salmon fillets and the surface of the potatoes.
Slice the remaining half of the lemon into thin rounds and place a slice or two on top of each salmon fillet.
Return the baking dish to the oven and continue baking for 20 additional minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with additional fresh parsley before serving.
