sheet pan coffee rubbed salmon and butter potatoes
If an effortful dinner feels *insert wailing here*, put it on a sheetpan and get 'er done in 35 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 1 1/2 lb salmon
- 1 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 2 tsp instant coffee or espresso
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 3 tbsp butter, sliced into thin pats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment or rub lightly with oil.
- Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Arrange on the baking sheet. Roast 15 minutes.
- Pat the salmon very dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, toss together the brown sugar, coffee, smoked paprika, chipotle chili powder, rosemary, garlic, onion, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Drizzle the filets with olive oil and pat evenly with the spice rub.
- Push the potatoes to one side of the tray. Arrange the salmon filets around the potatoes. Place the butter pats on various spots over the salmon and tatoes. Bake 10-12 minutes. If desired and if you did not use parchment paper, switch the broiler to high and toast for the last 2-3 minutes of roasting time to get a nice bubbly caramelization.
- Divide the salmon and potatoes among plates with your favorite green salad or steamed veggie!
