Cooking Steps

Roast potatoes
1
  • Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Add potatoes and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 25-28 min.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Pat salmon dry with paper towels, then season tops with salt and pepper.
Coat salmon
3
  • Stir together panko and sesame seeds in a shallow dish.
  • Spread 1/2 tbsp mayo over flesh side of each piece of salmon.
  • Working with one piece of salmon at a time, press flesh sides into panko-sesame seed mixture to coat completely.
  • Arrange salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down.
Roast salmon
4
  • Roast salmon in the top of the oven until breadcrumbs are golden and salmon is cooked through, 12-13 min.**
Cook broccoli
5
  • Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add broccoli and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is tender-crisp, 4-6 min.
  • Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and half the garlic puree. Cook, stirring often, until garlic is fragrant, 1 min.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
Finish and serve
6

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The sesame and panko crust was a standout, adding satisfying crunch and flavour to the salmon; the lemon aioli was widely praised as a bright, well-balanced complement.
  • Ease of prep: Most reviewers found this a straightforward, quick weeknight meal; some noted that crusting the salmon takes a little extra care but is easy to manage.
  • Suggestions: Consider pan-frying the salmon instead of baking to help the sesame-panko crust crisp up more thoroughly. Some reviewers found the broccoli bland and suggest adding Parmesan, oyster sauce, or roasting it in the oven with oil and salt for better flavour; reducing the garlic puree slightly can also prevent it from overpowering the dish.
  • Leftovers: Salmon portions were frequently noted as quite small, which left some reviewers wanting more protein on the plate.
