- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cut 2 lbs of baby potatoes into quarter-sized pieces for quick and even cooking.
- Slice 1 red and 1 yellow bell pepper into 1-inch chunks for colorful vegetable mix.
- Create thick wedges from 1 red onion to add robust flavor to the sheet pan.
- Finely mince 2 garlic cloves to infuse the dish with aromatic depth.
- Coat potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer on the sheet pan and roast for exactly 15 minutes until edges start to crisp.
- Relocate potatoes to one side of the pan, creating space for additional ingredients.
- Position bell peppers and onion on the empty pan section, drizzling with remaining olive oil.
- Use paper towels to completely dry 4 salmon fillets, ensuring a perfect sear.
- Distribute remaining salt, pepper, and minced garlic evenly across salmon surfaces.
- Carefully place salmon fillets beside the roasted vegetables on the sheet pan.
- Continue roasting for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes smoothly when tested with a fork.
- Extract pan from oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice across entire sheet for bright, zesty flavor.
- Garnish salmon and vegetables with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill just before serving.
Notes
- Check potato sizes carefully to ensure even roasting and a consistent golden-brown exterior.
- Use a high-quality olive oil for better flavor and ensure even coating of vegetables and salmon.
- Pat salmon completely dry before seasoning to help achieve a crisp exterior and prevent steaming.
- Arrange salmon and vegetables with some space between them to allow proper heat circulation and prevent soggy results.
