Butter and Herb Salmon and Roasted Potatoes

You will need:

1         Fresh Salmon, thawed
5         Red Potatoes
1         Small Vidalia Onion
1         Stick Butter
           Garlic Powder
           Onion Powder
           Parsley Flakes
           Rosemary
           Pepper
           Lemon Pepper
           Yellow Mustard Seed
           Lawry's Seasoning Salt



1. Preheat oven to 400. Cut potatoes in half, then in quarters (I prefer to keep the skins on, since they are tasty and healthy ^_^). Slice small onion with potatoes.

2. In a large bowl, melt 1/4 cup butter. Add oil to butter. Sprinkle significant amount of garlic powder, 1 TBSP parsley, 1TBSP Lawry's seasoning, and a pinch of rosemary into butter and oil mixture.

3. Add potatoes and onions into butter mixture and toss until completely covered. Place onto baking dish and sprinkle a thin layer of garlic powder and pepper over potatoes. Bake on top rack for 35 minutes, or until golden brown edges. Flip over twice during baking, and add extra seasonings as desired (I like to add a little more parsley and pepper). After the 35 minutes, do not remove from the oven yet! Reduce heat down to 375 and switch to bottom rack.

4. Soften remaining butter (don't fully melt it, but melt it enough to be spreadable), and spread over fully thawed salmon. Sprinkle significant layer of garlic and onion powder, 1 TBSP Lawry's Seasoning, 2 TBSP parsley, pinch of mustard seed, and a very thin, spread out layer of lemon pepper.

5. Put salmon in 375 degree oven, on top rack. Bake for about 20 mins, or until it flakes well.

6. Serve hot with vegetables! :)

SUGGESTION: Since I'm in love with onions, I also like to sautee another small vidalia onion in butter while the everything is baking, to dish with the salmon.  :)
