Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Add the potatoes to the pan and toss with a little bit of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes until lightly browned and delicious.
- While the potatoes are roasting, make your sauce. Melt the butter over medium low heat. Add the garlic, shallot, and thyme sprigs; sauté for 3-5 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add broth and cream; bring to a low simmer. Let the sauce thicken. Remove the thyme sprigs, whisk in the lemon juice, stir in the herbs, and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the broccoli and the salmon to the potato pan. Toss or brush with a little more oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the salmon is fully cooked.
- Serve salmon, potatoes, and broccoli with big spoonfuls of sauce, more herbs, and lemon wedges.
