Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) using conventional oven settings (top and bottom heat). Wash the potatoes thoroughly, halve them lengthwise, and cut each half into thirds or quarters to create thin, small wedges. Wash the broccoli and cut it into bite-sized florets. Place both in a bowl, season with rapeseed oil, paprika, and plenty of salt and pepper, and mix well.

Distribute the potatoes and broccoli evenly on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake at 200°C for about 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft inside and the skin blisters slightly.

Meanwhile, rinse the salmon under cold water and gently pat dry with paper towels. Cut the fillets into approximately 3-centimeter cubes and place them in a bowl. Marinate the salmon cubes with oil, paprika powder, and a little salt and pepper.

After 25 to 30 minutes, remove the baking tray from the oven and place salmon cubes (skin-side down) on the tray and return it to the oven for another 8 to 9 minutes, until the salmon is medium-well cooked.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven as soon as the potatoes are soft inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and mix with pesto, then divide between two plates and serve with the salmon cubes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Uniform Potato Sizing 🥔
Cut baby potatoes into equal halves or quarters to ensure even cooking and golden browning; uneven sizes will leave some undercooked while others burn.
Salmon Skin Crisping Secret 🐟
Pat salmon fillets completely dry and place skin-side down on a preheated, oil-brushed baking sheet for the first 10 minutes to achieve crispy, non-stick skin without flipping.
Staggered Roasting Technique ⏱️
Start potatoes 15 minutes before salmon and broccoli to account for their longer cooking time, ensuring everything finishes simultaneously for optimal texture and temperature.
Pesto Application Timing 🌿
Add basil pesto only in the final 2-3 minutes of roasting to prevent the basil from darkening and losing its vibrant color and fresh flavor.
Smoked Paprika Bloom Technique 🌶️
Lightly toast the smoked paprika with a small amount of oil before seasoning the salmon to intensify its smoky depth and distribute the flavor more evenly across the fillet.
