Ingredients

Serves 4

For the Salmon & Vegetables:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

• 1 lb baby potatoes, halved

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes

• 1 cup green beans or asparagus

• 2 Tbsp olive oil

• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce:

• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• Juice of 1 lemon (about 2–3 Tbsp)

• 1 tsp lemon zest

• 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

• Optional: 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes for heat

Directions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare Vegetables:
   Toss potatoes with 1 Tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on one side of the sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes.

3. Make the Sauce:
   In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, and red pepper flakes if using.

4. Add Salmon and Veggies:
   Remove the pan from the oven. Add green beans and cherry tomatoes to the center. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil and season.
   Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side of the pan. Brush or spoon the garlic lemon butter sauce generously over each fillet.

5. Roast
   Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 12–15 minutes, or until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and vegetables are tender.

6. Serve:
   Garnish with extra parsley and lemon wedges if desired. Serve hot right from the pan!
