Description

This Easy Salmon with Lemon recipe offers a simple, flavorful way to enjoy a healthy, nutritious meal. Featuring tender salmon fillets baked with fresh baby potatoes and green beans, all coated in a zesty lemon and herb marinade, this dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or an elegant weekend meal. The combination of citrus, honey, and spices creates a balanced and aromatic flavor profile, while the broiling step adds a deliciously crisp finish to the salmon.

Ingredients

Salmon and Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (juice of one lemon)
  • 1/2 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 lb salmon filet

Vegetables

  • 2 cups baby potatoes
  • 2 cups green beans

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the baby potatoes in half to ensure even cooking. Microwave the halved potatoes for 2-3 minutes until they become fork-tender, which will help them cook faster in the oven.
  2. Make the Marinade: While the potatoes are microwaving, combine olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, dried dill, ground ginger, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place the salmon filet in the center of the baking sheet, then arrange the green beans and partially cooked baby potatoes around the salmon.
  4. Coat Ingredients: Drizzle the prepared olive oil and spice mixture evenly over the salmon, green beans, and potatoes. Toss the vegetables gently to ensure they are all well-coated with the marinade.
  5. Bake the Dish: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake everything for 15 minutes. This allows the salmon to cook through and the vegetables to soften and absorb the flavors.
  6. Broil for Finish: Switch your oven to broil and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the salmon is lightly browned on top. This step adds a lovely texture and enhances the flavor.

Notes

  • Microwaving the potatoes before baking helps reduce overall cooking time and ensures they are tender.
  • Feel free to adjust the spices to your personal taste preferences; adding fresh herbs can also enhance the flavor.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best citrus flavor in the marinade.
  • Check the salmon doneness by ensuring it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Serving suggestion: pair this dish with a fresh green salad or steamed rice for a complete meal.
