Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 lb red potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 yellow squash, sliced into rounds
- 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3 cups baby arugula
- 1/4 cup lemon dressing
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven and line a sheet pan with foil.
2. Toss the sliced red potatoes and grape tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper, then spread on the pan.
3. Roast until the potatoes are tender and the tomatoes burst.
4. Push the vegetables aside, add the salmon fillets to the pan, and bake again until the salmon flakes easily.
5. Scoop the roasted tomatoes into a blender with the salted butter and blend until smooth.
6. Plate the salmon with the roasted lemon potatoes and spoon the tomato butter sauce over the fish.
7. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet and cook the garlic, onion, zucchini, and yellow squash until just tender.
8. Add the warm squash and onion to a bowl with the arugula, pour over the lemon dressing and lemon juice, and toss until lightly wilted.
9. Serve the warm vegetable salad alongside the salmon and potatoes.
Notes
- Slice the potatoes thin so they roast in the same time as the tomatoes.
- Blend the butter sauce while the tomatoes are still warm so it stays smooth.
- Toss the warm salad right before serving so the arugula stays bright.
