Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • large bowl
  • kitchen towel
  • Paper Towel
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Potatoes and Vegetables

  • 1 lb baby potatoes washed and quartered
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder divided
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
  • 1 lb broccoli florets cut into small florets

Salmon

  • 4 fillets salmon fresh
  • salt and pepper for seasoning
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning to taste

Finishing Touches

  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them in a kitchen towel. Half them lengthwise and quarter them so they're approximately the same size.
  • In a large bowl, place 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Dump the quartered potatoes in the bowl and toss to coat all the potatoes with olive oil and seasonings.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 425F.
  • Transfer the potatoes onto the lined baking sheet, making sure to spread them out evenly on the surface area. Bake the potatoes for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.

Cooking

  • Meanwhile, prep the broccoli by chopping the florets into smaller pieces. Toss the smaller florets into the large bowl, with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Prep the salmon by patting it dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle 1 to 2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning over the salmon, depending on how spicy you'd like it to be.
  • Remove the pan from the oven after 15 minutes, and move the potatoes to one side of the pan to make room for the salmon fillets and the broccoli. Place the salmon in the middle and the broccoli on the other side of the pan.
  • Place the sheet pan back in the oven and cook for another 10 to 12 minutes, until the salmon separates easily with a fork. Remove from oven.
  • Plate the salmon, top it with ½ tablespoon of butter, and allow it to melt over the top, and serve it with roasted potatoes and broccoli.

Notes

Thin salmon fillets will be ready closer to 9 minutes, while thicker salmon fillets will take about 12 minutes. The broccoli needs to be chopped into smaller florets to shorten cooking time, otherwise they will take 15 minutes. You can also steam the broccoli separately. Cajun seasoning can be swapped for veggie seasoning, Creole seasoning, Salmon seasoning, or your favorite all-purpose seasoning (same amounts).
