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!

Salmon always tastes good, but I never heard about making it with corn and potatoes. Guess I'll have to try it. Thanks for sharing!
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 agree! Potatoes and fish go so well together!
What a fresh and healthy recipe. This is a recipe for regular rotation in our house 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing.

It is so good! I love how healthy it is too!
This vinaigrette needs to be on all my dishes this Summer!! Delicious!
It does! It tastes like summer!
now this is a MEAL! corn and taters are always welcome on my plate, and i like the sound of the vinaigrette too--i still have fresh basil!
MMM... this looks exactly like the kind of dinner I want to eat. The salad looks amazing and perfect with the salmon. Thanks for sharing it with Souper Sundays this week! 😉
Looks delicious Pam. And yay, another Salmon Saturday idea. 😉
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.
That looks stunning! I have to make it.
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!
stunning photo! i love basil and salmon, a no brainer!
I so wanted salmon last night.
We still have fresh corn here! I love transition food like this...possibly even more than pure fall or summer food.
We need to eat more Salmon.....
