One Pan Glow-Up: Lemon-Dill Salmon with Crispy Potatoes & Carrot Slaw
Jul 10, 2025This one-pan glow-up is the answer to your “nourish me, but make it easy” dinner dilemma. Wild salmon brings omega-3s for mood and inflammation, while crispy baby potatoes offer grounding carbs to stabilize blood sugar. A fresh carrot slaw adds brightness and gut-loving fiber, all tied together with a quick honey-garlic vinaigrette. Hormone-friendly, digestion-supportive, and weeknight-easy.
Ingredients
(Serves 2)
For the salmon:
- 2 salmon fillets (4–6 oz each), skin on
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 tsp olive oil or avocado oil
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: lemon zest or thin lemon slices
For the potatoes:
- 1½ cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- Pinch of garlic powder
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
For the carrot slaw:
- 1 large carrot, grated or shaved into ribbons
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp raw honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ clove garlic, grated
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss baby potatoes with avocado oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread onto one side of a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
- While potatoes roast, pat dry salmon and season with lemon juice, dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Optionally top with lemon slices.
- After 15 minutes, remove pan, push potatoes to one side, and place salmon fillets on the other.
- Return to oven and roast for another 12–15 minutes, or until salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the rice vinegar, honey, olive oil, grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss with grated carrot and set aside to marinate.
- Plate salmon with roasted potatoes and a mound of carrot slaw. Optionally drizzle with extra lemon or olive oil for a little shine.
Notes
- The slaw can be made a day in advance—perfect for meal prep.
- Add arugula or baby greens under the slaw for extra bulk and micronutrients.
- Ideal for follicular or ovulatory phases, when bright flavors and lighter meals support estrogen metabolism and energy.
