For the Golden Seared Salmon (best pan-seared salmon):
2 salmon fillets (skin-on)
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp lemon juice

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper to taste
For the Veggie Trio (easy healthy side dish):
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup baby carrots
1 tbsp olive oil

How to Make It :
1️⃣ Roast the Baby Potatoes:
Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden and fork-tender. This step guarantees crispy roasted potatoes and a total easy sheet pan dinner vibe.

Pat salmon dry for that perfect crispy skin salmon texture. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. This locks in bold flavor for the best pan-seared salmon and an instant restaurant-quality meal at home.
3️⃣ Sear to Golden Perfection:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook 4–5 minutes until crispy. Flip, add butter, and baste for 2–3 minutes until flaky and golden. Finish with lemon juice for a bright healthy weeknight dinner boost.
4️⃣ Cook the Veggie Trio:
Steam or sauté broccoli and carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper until tender-crisp. You’ll get a colorful easy healthy side dish that balances this clean eating dinner beautifully.
