Ingredients

Units Scale

Protein

  • 4 fresh salmon fillets, skin-on (about 6 oz each)

Vegetables

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into uniform cubes
  • 3 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces

Seasoning & Oils

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Herbs & Citrus

  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (dill, rosemary, or thyme), chopped
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into uniform cubes for even cooking. Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets and mince the garlic. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure the skin crisps during roasting.
  2. Toss Vegetables with Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes and broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything thoroughly to coat evenly, promoting caramelization while roasting.
  3. Arrange Vegetables on the Sheet Pan: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes and broccoli in a single layer on one side of a large baking sheet, making sure they have enough space to roast rather than steam.
  4. Season and Place Salmon: Brush or drizzle the salmon fillets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and your choice of fresh herbs. Place the fillets skin-side down on the opposite side of the baking sheet, leaving room around each fillet for even cooking.
  5. Roast Until Perfect: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and lightly browned. The broccoli should be tender and crispy on the edges.
  6. Finish with a Bright Touch: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables. Serve immediately to enjoy the brightness and balance of flavors.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes and broccoli into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Pat the salmon dry before seasoning to help the skin crisp up.
  • Do not overcrowd the sheet pan to prevent steaming and ensure roasting.
  • Add fresh herbs after cooking to keep flavors vibrant and fresh.
  • Let the salmon rest for a few minutes post-roasting to retain moisture.
