Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line two rimmed sheet pans with parchment or foil; halve the potatoes, trim the green beans, cut the bell pepper into strips, zest and juice the lemon, and pat the salmon dry.
- Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on one sheet pan; toss the bell pepper, grape tomatoes, and garlic cloves with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt on the second sheet pan.
- Roast both pans for 16 to 18 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender and the pepper and tomatoes are blistered; leave the oven on.
- Transfer the roasted pepper, tomatoes, and garlic to a blender or food processor with the almonds, parsley, vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a small splash of water; blend into a spoonable romesco sauce and season with salt and pepper.
- Push the potatoes to one side of their pan, add the green beans to the other side, and toss the beans with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper; place the salmon portions skin-side down in the center or on a cleared area of the pan, then season with lemon zest, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Roast for 9 to 12 minutes, until the green beans are crisp-tender and the salmon flakes easily and reaches 145°F at the thickest part; rest the salmon for 3 minutes.
- Spoon romesco onto two plates, set the salmon over the sauce, and arrange the roasted potatoes and green beans alongside; finish with extra parsley and a squeeze of lemon.
