👩🍳 Instructions:

Prepare the Potatoes & Broccoli:
Toss baby potatoes in half the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

While potatoes roast, mix melted butter, lemon juice, zest, and garlic.
Pat the salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.
Spoon the lemon butter over each fillet.
Add Broccoli & Salmon:

Nestle the salmon fillets onto the tray.
Roast everything for an additional 12–15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily and potatoes are tender.

Enjoy hot and fresh!
✅ Healthy Tip:
Use ghee or olive oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version. Add red pepper flakes for a kick!
