Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss potato wedges with 2 teaspoons olive oil, fry seasoning, salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the prepared sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, then flip and add green beans (tossed with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, salt and pepper) to the sheet. Roast another 10-15 minutes until potatoes are golden and beans are tender.
- Meanwhile, pat salmon dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Place salmon skin-side down and cook 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes more for medium (adjust for desired doneness). Transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to low. Add butter, honey Dijon dressing and a squeeze of lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Serve salmon with potato wedges and green beans. Drizzle honey Dijon sauce over salmon and garnish with lemon wedges.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy potato wedges, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then dry thoroughly.
If your salmon fillets are thicker, adjust cooking time accordingly-aim for an internal temperature of 125°F for medium.
Fresh lemon juice brightens the sauce; add it just before serving to preserve the flavor.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of fish?
Yes, this recipe works well with other firm fish like trout, arctic char or even thick white fish fillets. Adjust cooking time as needed.
What can I substitute for honey Dijon dressing?
Mix 1 tablespoon honey with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to create a similar dressing.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid drying out the salmon.
