Easy Salmon with Roasted Potatoes
Salmon and potatoes isn’t typically considered comfort food, but in my book it is. Nothing beats crispy potatoes and flaky, flavorful salmon. This sheet pan salmon with potatoes may be my favorite creation to date. The salmon is so juicy and moist from the butter, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. The potatoes are slightly crisped on the outside and tender in the middle and the smell of roasted potatoes is just so good. They are forkfuls of comfort food indeed.

Broilers are notorious for cooking food very quickly and they all vary in their heat output and intensity, so make sure not to walk away from your food and keep a very close eye on it. Since I prefer my salmon on the medium-rare to rare side and if you’re in this camp with me, if you do plan to use the broiler for some exterior crisping, I suggest reducing the baking time from 10 minutes to about 7 minutes so that your salmon doesn’t become overcooked if you’re broiling it for 3-ish minutes.
