Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.

  • Roast potatoes for 10 minutes to give them a head start.
  • While potatoes roast, place the salmon fillets in a mixing bowl. Add melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, a pinch of garlic powder, and a light sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat the salmon in the marinade.
