Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 1 lb halved fingerling potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread in a single layer.
  2. Step 2: Roast potatoes for 15 minutes until edges start to crisp and golden.
  3. Step 3: Push potatoes to one side of the sheet pan. Arrange 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on the potatoes, season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and top each with 1 lemon slice.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over salmon, then scatter 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill over the entire pan.
  5. Step 5: Roast for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let rest for 3 minutes. Garnish with extra dill sprigs before serving directly from the pan.
