One Pot Salmon Dinner

Everyone should know a variation of this great no-fuss recipe; this is how I like to prepare mine.  With just a single dish to clean up, thirty minutes of cooking time and requiring very few ingredients, this recipe is truly a cook's best friend.    

Ingredients:
 
  • 3 salmon filets
  • A quantity of green beans, sweet potato & tomatoes (any roasting vegetables will do here, for example, asparagus or broccoli would make great substitutions).
  • Olive oil
  • Lemon juice, garlic & herb butter
  • 3 lemons, thinly sliced
  • Sea salt, to taste

Directions: 
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place the salmon filets skin-side down in the middle of a 9' x 13' pan.
  • Place vegetables to either side of the salmon.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and season with salt.
  • Put approximately 1 tablespoon each of garlic, lemon juice and herb butter on top of each salmon filet then top with the lemon slices.
  • Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.

Bon appétit!
