Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Add the potatoes to the pan and toss with a little bit of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes until lightly browned and delicious.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, make your sauce. Melt the butter over medium low heat. Add the garlic, shallot, and thyme sprigs; sauté for 3-5 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add broth and cream; bring to a low simmer. Let the sauce hang out over low heat until it starts to thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove the thyme sprigs. Whisk in the lemon juice, stir in the herbs, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the broccoli and salmon to the potato pan. Toss or brush with a little more oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the salmon is fully cooked.
  • Serve salmon, potatoes, and broccoli with big spoonfuls of sauce, more herbs, and more lemon wedges.

Notes

This dish is perfect for a healthy family dinner and is packed with flavor from the lemon herb sauce.
