Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • large pot
  • Small bowl

Ingredients
  

Spices and Herbs

  • 1-2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, basil)
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun/Creole seasoning

Oils

  • ¼ cup canola oil or more

Salmon

  • 2-3 fillets Salmon Steaks 4-6oz, room temperature

Vegetables

  • 1 pound green beans or any vegetables
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • baby potatoes

Seasoning

  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Clean and cut the baby potatoes in half. Then place them in a large pot and pour water into it; enough to cover the potatoes. Season with salt.
  • Bring it to a boil or until fork tender. Drain the water and let the pot with cooked potatoes simmer for 2-3 minutes until all excess water is gone. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine garlic, thyme, parsley, Cajun/Creole seasoning, and canola oil. Mix thoroughly. Set aside.
  • Place the salmon steaks on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Brush the salmon steaks with the spice mixture. Set aside.
  • In separate bowls/plates, coat the veggies (tomatoes, green beans, and cooked potatoes) with the same Cajun spice mixture.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. Spray with a cooking spray or lightly oil.
  • Place the seasoned salmon, tomatoes, potatoes, and green beans on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  • Allow the salmon and vegetables to bake for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon and preference.

Notes

You may leave the salmon and veggies in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking. Or fry them in a pan. Replace canola oil with olive oil, coconut oil, or butter to make it completely keto-friendly. This recipe makes a great meal prep. You may add more veggies like carrots, zucchini, and bell pepper. Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
