Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 whole Carrots
- 1 bunch Asparagus
- 4 small Potatoes
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Prepare the vegetables: peel and slice the carrots into sticks, trim the ends of the asparagus, and cut the potatoes into quarters.
Place the vegetables on the baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then toss to coat. Spread them out in an even layer.
Place the salmon fillets on the same baking sheet, skin-side down. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fish and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and place a slice on top of each salmon fillet.
Bake everything in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
While the salmon and vegetables are baking, prepare the lemon herb butter: finely chop the fresh parsley. In a small bowl, melt the butter (either on the stove or in the microwave) and stir in the chopped parsley and the juice from half of the lemon. Mix well.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let everything rest for 2-3 minutes.
Plate the salmon and vegetables, then drizzle the lemon herb butter over the salmon.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Salmon Dinner with Lemon Herb Butter!
