Salmon
- 4 salmon filets, about 1½ pounds, skins on
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 medium lemon, cut into rounds
Lemon Avocado Salsa
- 1 large ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 small shallot, finely diced
- 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a 9x11-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
Potatoes
- In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. They will continue cooking with the salmon.
- While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the salmon.
Salmon
- In a medium bowl combine the lemon juice, parsley, garlic, salt, paprika, crushed red pepper, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well and spread on top of each salmon filet.
- Remove the pan with the potatoes from the oven. Nestle the salmon filets and lemon slices into the pan with the potatoes.
- Transfer the pan back to the oven to continue baking for 10-12 more minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the potatoes are golden and crispy. The internal temperature of fully cooked salmon is 145°F. For a crispier filet, broil for 1-2 minutes.
- While the salmon and potatoes are baking, prepare the avocado salsa.
Lemon Avocado Salsa
- In a medium bowl, combine the avocados, shallot, jalapeño, cilantro, and lemon juice. Season with salt to taste.
- Divide the potatoes and salmon onto plates and spoon the avocado salsa over the salmon to serve. Enjoy immediately.
