Description
A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring salmon roasted with garlic and za’atar spice blend, surrounded by baby potatoes, broccoli, and grape tomatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 baby potatoes (about 12 oz), scrubbed
- 2 cups grape tomatoes (about 10 oz), halved
- 6 oz broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp fresh minced garlic (about 5 to 6 cloves)
- Quality extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tsp za’atar spice, divided
- 1 tsp coriander, divided
- 1 lb salmon fillet, no skin
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the scrubbed baby potatoes, halved grape tomatoes, and broccoli florets. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the mixture. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of za’atar spice, and ½ teaspoon of coriander. Toss again to blend all flavors.
- Transfer the seasoned vegetables to a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer.
- Pat the salmon dry and season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil, then spread the remaining minced garlic on top.
- Sprinkle the remaining za’atar and coriander over the salmon fillet. Slice the salmon into four equal pieces and place them on the baking sheet alongside the vegetables.
- If desired, drizzle extra olive oil over both the salmon and vegetables.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-16 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Remove from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon, and add a sprinkle of za’atar before serving.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, marinate the salmon with garlic and spices for 15-30 minutes before baking. Experiment with different vegetables as desired.
