    Roasted, Baked or Broiled Salmon

    We eat a lot of salmon in this house, everything from Smoked Salmon Salad to Seared Salmon on Coconut Spinach.

    While we love salmon cooked every which way, one of my favorite ways is to simply broil it in the oven in a pan.  It's so easy.

    You can cook salmon in the oven, in a couple of ways. You can slow roast it a lower heat or you can roast it for a few minutes at regular heat or you can even broil it.

    I've tried all the ways and they all work.  I use broiling if I have a topping that I want to brown or glaze or I want to cook it quickly, I use a slow roasting if I have time and really want it to stay extra moist and I use a medium time and temp when I'm roasting other things with the salmon.

    How to Make Roast Salmon with New Potatoes and Corn

    I found this recipe originally at BBC Good Food, back in 2013!   The original recipe called for grilling the salmon, but boiling the potatoes and the corn.  I didn't want to heat up the grill for just salmon, so I roasted it in the oven instead.  So easy.

    Begin by making the delicious basil vinaigrette!  It's a classic vinaigrette with red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and a shallot. To that you add capers and basil to give it loads of flavor and a tangy bite!

    Preheat the oven for broiling or roasting the salmon.    Heat a pot of water to a boil and cook the potatoes and the corn, drain, salt and pepper them, and let them cool a little.

    Brush the salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  Place on a foil lined tray about 4-6 inches from the heat and broil for about 6 minutes. If you are roasting the salmon, roast on a foil lined tray for 8-10 minutes.

    Serve the veggies and the salmon with the delicious basil vinaigrette!

    Total Time 25 minutes minutes
    Servings 4
    Calories 377kcal

    Ingredients

    • ¾ pound baby new potatoes
    • 2 ears corn
    • 4 salmon filets

    Basil Vinaigrette

    • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 shallot finely chopped
    • 1 tablespoon capers finely chopped
    • 1 cup basil leaves minced
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    Basil Vinaigrette

    • In a small bowl whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, shallot, capers and basil leaves.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

    Salmon and Vegetables

    • Heat a large pot of water to a boil, add a generous sprinkling of salt.  Add potatoes and boil for 5 minutes, then add the corn and continue boiling for 5 more minutes. 
    • Drain the potatoes and the corn, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and let them cool a little. 
    • Preheat the oven to broil.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.  Place the salmon on the baking sheet and brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Broil about 4-6 inches from the heat for about 6 minutes. 

    To Serve

    • Slice the potatoes and place on a serving plate.  Remove the corn from the cob and add on top of the potatoes.  Place the salmon on top of the vegetables and drizzle with the basil vinaigrette. 

    Notes

    If using regular potatoes, cut them in half or quarters. 
    If using frozen corn, add at the same time as you would corn on the cob. 
    If you want to roast the salmon - roast at 450 for 8-10 minutes (or about 4-6 minutes per half an inch of thickness.)

      This is my perfect dinner! I always used to get so upset when fish was always served with rice. I want the heartier potato with the lighter fish! And I need the reminder to broil my salmon more often!!

      I've been going mad for salmon lately, and I sometimes get a bit stuck on new ways to serve it. This is definitely one I'd like to try.

      Fresh corn season is about over for us, too. It runs later here because it starts later. This salmon dish looks like a great flavor combination!

      We still have fresh corn here! I love transition food like this...possibly even more than pure fall or summer food.
