  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 24 ounces Yukon baby gold potatoes
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 tablespoon freeze dried dill, or 3 tablespoons fresh dill

Salmon

  • 1.5 pounds salmon filet, skin-on
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (for seasoning salmon)
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

To Serve

  • red pepper flakes, to taste
  • more dill for garnish
  • 1 lemon wedge, for squeezing over finished dish

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). On a large sheet pan, toss the baby Yukon gold potatoes with olive oil and kosher salt. Pour 1/2 cup water directly onto the pan to create steam during roasting.
  2. Roast the Potatoes: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast the potatoes for 30 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes with a sturdy spatula to prevent sticking and ensure even golden browning. The water will evaporate, gently steaming the potatoes while they roast to a tender, golden finish.
  3. Prep the Salmon: After 30 minutes, push the potatoes to the side of the sheet pan. Place the salmon filet skin-side down in the center of the pan. Sprinkle the salmon with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise, then spread it evenly over the top of the salmon.
  4. Bake and Broil the Salmon: Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake the salmon for 6 minutes. Then switch the oven to broil and place the pan close to the top heating element. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to develop a browned, slightly crisp top layer. The salmon should flake easily when done.
  5. Prepare the Garlic Dill Butter: While the salmon is cooking, combine the melted butter with grated garlic and freeze dried or fresh dill. Once the salmon and potatoes are out of the oven, spoon the garlic dill butter over the hot potatoes to add rich flavor and moisture.
  6. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle the salmon with additional dill and red pepper flakes to taste. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the entire dish for brightness. Flake the salmon into large chunks and serve alongside the roasted dill potatoes for a flavorful and easy sheet pan meal.

Notes

  • Use a sturdy spatula to stir potatoes during roasting to avoid sticking and promote even browning.
  • Broiling the salmon at the end adds a delicious browned crust—watch closely to prevent burning.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice preference or omit if sensitive to heat.
  • Freeze dried dill can be used as an easy substitute for fresh dill if unavailable.
  • Ensure salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 125–130°F for medium doneness.
