Ingredients

  • 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup baby carrots, halved
  • 1 cup baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

How to Make Herb-Crusted Salmon with Seasonal Vegetables

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, parsley, dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush them generously with the herb mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss the broccoli, baby carrots, and baby potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Arrange the vegetables around the salmon on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes.
  8. Serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the salmon is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
  • Use fresh herbs for maximum flavor; dried herbs can be substituted but will yield a different taste.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your salmon fillets; thicker pieces may require a few extra minutes.
  • For a crispy topping, broil the salmon for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out salmon for trout or another fatty fish for a different flavor.
  • Use any seasonal vegetables you have on hand; asparagus, zucchini, or bell peppers work beautifully.
  • Add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top of the salmon for a cheesy twist.
  • For a spicy kick, incorporate red pepper flakes into the herb mixture.

What to Serve With It

  • Quinoa or couscous for a hearty side.
  • A light salad with mixed greens and a lemon vinaigrette.
  • Crusty whole grain bread to soak up the juices.
  • A glass of crisp white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc, complements the dish wonderfully.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warmed through to avoid drying out the salmon.
