Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment. Halve the potatoes, cut the corn kernels from the cobs, halve the tomatoes, chop the dill, and zest and juice the lemon.
- Toss the potatoes thoroughly with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper. Arrange them cut-side down on the pan and roast for 18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the breadcrumbs, softened butter, dill, lemon zest, garlic powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pat the salmon dry, divide it into two portions, and spread the tops with Dijon mustard before pressing on the crumbs.
- Turn the potatoes, then add the corn and tomatoes. Drizzle the vegetables with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, toss, and clear space in the center for the salmon.
- Set the salmon skin-side down on the pan and roast for 7–9 minutes, checking early, until the center reaches 125–130°F for a tender texture. Use 145°F for children, pregnant people, older adults, immunocompromised diners, or anyone who needs fully cooked fish.
- Transfer the salmon to a plate and rest it for 3 minutes. Drizzle the vegetables with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and check that the potatoes are fork-tender; if needed, roast them for 3–5 minutes longer.
- Plate each salmon portion with the roasted corn, tomatoes, and potatoes, spoon over the pan juices, and finish with dill and lemon wedges.
