Ingredients

• 3 salmon fillets (6 ounce)
• 1.5 pound small red potatoes (quartered)
• 1 pound fresh green beans (trimmed)
• 3 tablespoon olive oil (divided)
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 lemon
• 1.5 teaspoon garlic powder (divided)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (divided)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, toss the quartered small red potatoes and trimmed fresh green beans with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread in a single layer.
2. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and slightly golden. While roasting, juice half the lemon and set aside.
3. Pat the salmon fillets dry. Season both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of fresh dill, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron works well) over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) in the skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
5. Flip the salmon fillets and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily. Cooking time will vary depending on thickness.
6. Once removed from the oven, toss the roasted potatoes and green beans with the fresh lemon juice. Serve the pan-seared salmon immediately with the lemon dill potatoes and green beans. Garnish with lemon slices and extra fresh dill.

Notes

For even cooking, ensure the salmon fillets are of similar thickness. Patting them dry helps achieve a nice sear.
