🧺 Ingredients

For the Salmon:

  • 2 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless, about 6 oz each)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

  • 1 lemon wedge (for serving)

For the Garlic Butter Mash:

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped

  • 3 tbsp butter

  • ½ cup milk or heavy cream (warm)

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Broccolini:

  • 1 bunch broccolini, trimmed

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • Salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Garlic Butter Mash

  1. Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 12–15 minutes).

  2. In a small pan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).

  3. Drain potatoes and mash them with the garlic butter, then add warm milk or cream.

  4. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until creamy and smooth. Set aside and keep warm.

2. Cook the Salmon

  1. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Place the salmon skin-side down and cook for 4–5 minutes until the edges turn golden and crispy.

  4. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes (depending on thickness) until just cooked through.

  5. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving.

3. Sauté the Broccolini

  1. In a separate pan, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat.

  2. Add broccolini and cook for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.

  3. Season with salt, pepper, and a light squeeze of lemon juice.

🍽️ To Serve

Spoon a generous portion of garlic butter mash onto your plate.
Top with a beautifully seared salmon fillet, and arrange broccolini on the side.
Drizzle any leftover butter from the pan over the top for that final restaurant-style touch.

💡 Tips

  • Add a spoonful of garlic herb butter or honey lemon glaze over the salmon for extra flavor.

  • Substitute asparagus or green beans if you don’t have broccolini.
