Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered (depending on size)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or a mix), sliced into strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature helps achieve a beautiful crisp on the potatoes and salmon.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the baby potatoes with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place them in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
  4. While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the salmon. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. After 15 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven. Push them to one side of the baking sheet and arrange the salmon fillets on the other side, skin-side down. Spoon the marinade over the salmon.
  6. Add the sliced bell peppers to the baking sheet, drizzling them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the peppers are tender.
  8. Once everything is cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Keywords: Don't overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure roasting instead of steaming. Use good quality olive oil for better flavor, and check the salmon's doneness with a digital meat thermometer.
