Ingredients

  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • tsp salt, divided
  • ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper, divided
  • 4 (6 ounces each) salmon filets, skin on or off
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed
  • lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400°F.
  • Toss together potatoes with the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread out in an even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  • Roast potatoes for 13 to 15 minutes, or until just tender and starting to brown a bit.

  • Remove from oven; push potatoes to one side of the sheet pan and arrange salmon fillets down the center.
  • Melt butter in a small mixing bowl and whisk in garlic, parsley, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Remove 1-1/2 tablespoons of the butter-garlic mix and set aside.
  • Rub salmon evenly with the remaining butter mixture.
  • Add the green beans to the other side of the pan and toss with the 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter mix.


  • Season everything with the remaining salt and pepper.


  • Return to oven and continue baking for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and fork-tender and salmon is cooked through. Use an Instant Read Thermometer to check for doneness; salmon is done at 145˚F.
  • If you want extra browning on top of the salmon, put pan under the broiler for the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking.
  • Serve with lemon slices.
