1. Make the Garlic Herb Butter
In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined and set aside at room temperature.
2. Cook the Baby Potatoes
Place halved baby potatoes in a pot of salted water. Boil for 10–12 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and toss with a little olive oil or butter, if desired.
3. Steam the Broccoli
Steam broccoli florets in a steamer basket or microwave with a splash of water. Cook until bright green and tender, about 4–5 minutes. Season lightly with salt.
4. Cook the Salmon
Pat salmon fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4–5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 3–4 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove from heat and immediately top with garlic herb butter so it melts into the fish.
💡 Tips for Best Results
- Don’t Overcook the Salmon: Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is still slightly pink inside.
- Use Fresh Herbs if Possible: Fresh parsley and lemon juice brighten the butter beautifully.
- Customize the Sides: Swap broccoli for asparagus or green beans, or roast the potatoes for a crispier edge.
