Instructions
- Prepare oven & sheet pan:
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
- Roast potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Spread evenly on the sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes.
- Mix marinade & coat salmon:
- While potatoes roast, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, parsley, dill, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pat salmon fillets dry and coat with the marinade.
- Add vegetables:
- After 15 minutes, remove sheet pan from oven. Add red onion, bell pepper, and green beans; drizzle with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Place salmon:
- Nestle marinated salmon fillets among the vegetables, skin-side down if using.
- Bake:
- Return pan to oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until salmon is just cooked through and vegetables are tender.
- Optional broil:
