  2. Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on one side of the sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes.
  3. While potatoes are roasting, pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  4. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and lemon juice together.
  5. Remove pan from oven, place salmon fillets on the other side, and brush generously with garlic butter mixture.
