Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 1 pound, halved baby potatoes
- 8 oz, trimmed snow peas
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). On a large baking sheet, toss 1 pound halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread evenly and roast for 20 minutes until starting to soften.
- Step 2: While potatoes roast, in a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill.
- Step 3: Remove the baking sheet from oven, add 4 salmon fillets skin-side down spaced evenly on the pan, and scatter 8 oz trimmed snow peas around them.
- Step 4: Brush the lemon-dill mixture evenly over the salmon fillets and vegetables. Return the sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and potatoes are tender.
- Step 5: Serve immediately, garnished with extra dill if desired.
