1-Getting started with this recipe: Getting started with this recipe is as easy as preheating your oven and gathering your ingredients. Begin by setting your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper for simple cleanup. This method ensures your Salmon Broccoli Potatoes cook evenly while keeping things straightforward for home cooks.

2-Wash and dry the potatoes, then halve and quarter them for even cooking. In a large bowl, mix 3 tablespoons olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and Italian seasoning before tossing in the potatoes to coat them well. Spread them out on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes to get that crispy edge.

3-While the potatoes are in the oven, prepare the broccoli by halving the florets if they’re large and tossing them with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Pat the salmon fillets dry and season both sides with 2 to 3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, plus salt and pepper to taste for that extra flavor kick.

4-Assembling and Final Baking: After the initial 15 minutes, take the baking sheet out and move the potatoes to one side. Place the salmon in the center and the broccoli on the other side to keep everything separate yet cooking together. Pop it back in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and the veggies are tender.

5-Once done, remove from the oven and top each salmon fillet with ½ tablespoon butter, then squeeze juice from the ½ lemon over everything. Let the butter melt for a creamy finish before serving. This step-by-step approach, including the full directions, makes for a quick 30-minute meal that’s ideal for busy schedules.
