Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • 1 lb baby Yukon Gold potatoes Halved or quartered
  • 3-4 Tbsp olive oil For drizzling
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
For the Salmon and Sauce
  • 4 fillets skin-on salmon fillets
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter Melted
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice Freshly squeezed
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley Optional garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Optionally line a heavy-duty baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
  3. Place the halved or quartered baby Yukon Gold potatoes onto the sheet pan.
  4. Drizzle the potatoes with 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  5. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until they are about 75% cooked through.
Cooking
  1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter, then stir in the lemon juice and Dijon mustard until well combined.
  2. After 15 minutes, flip the potatoes for even cooking.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin-side down, alongside the potatoes.
  4. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the salmon and pour two-thirds of the lemon butter mixture over everything.
  5. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the potatoes are tender.
  6. Optionally, broil for 2-3 minutes for an added crispy finish on the salmon and potatoes.
  7. If desired, sprinkle finely minced fresh parsley over the dish before serving.

Notes

For a twist, swap the Yukon Gold potatoes for sweet potatoes or add seasonal vegetables like asparagus or bell peppers. Be mindful of not overcrowding the baking sheet for optimal roasting.
