Cook: 25–30 minutes
Total: ~45 minutes
Serves: 2–3
Ingredients
Salmon
400 g salmon fillets
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp lemon zest
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Juice of ½ lemon
Herb Potatoes
400 g baby potatoes, halved or quartered
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme
Salt & black pepper
Veggies & Garnish
1 cup steamed broccoli or green beans
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
1️⃣ Roast the Potatoes
Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
Toss potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Roast for 20–25 minutes until golden and tender.
2️⃣ Cook the Salmon
While potatoes roast, season salmon with olive oil, oregano, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Bake salmon in the oven for 12–15 minutes until cooked through and flaky (can do simultaneously with potatoes if space allows).
3️⃣ Steam the Veggies
Steam broccoli or green beans for 3–5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
4️⃣ Assemble the Power Plate
Place roasted potatoes, salmon fillet, and veggies on a plate.
Garnish with parsley and optional lemon wedges.
Tips
For extra flavor, drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil or a lemon-tahini dressing over the plate.
Use a meat thermometer for salmon—65°C / 145°F ensures perfectly cooked fillets.
Add avocado slices for more healthy fats and creaminess.
