6 oz skin-on salmon fillet, patted dry, 1-inch thick
5 oz broccoli florets, cut into small pieces

Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a bowl, toss the diced potatoes with half of the oil and a third of the salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes onto a 12-inch oven-safe skillet and roast for 12 minutes.
In the same bowl, toss the broccoli with half of the remaining oil and another third of the salt and pepper. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using a mitt. Add the broccoli to the skillet with the potatoes and roast until the potatoes are tender and broccoli is browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a plate.
The skillet is very hot, so keep a mitt on the handle. Use tongs and a folded paper towel to wipe the skillet clean. Set the skillet over medium-high heat on the stove for 2 minutes. Season the salmon with the remaining salt and pepper. Add the remaining oil to the pan. Once it shimmers, place the salmon skin-side down and press flat with a spatula for 10 seconds. Sear for 4 minutes until the skin is very crisp.
Carefully flip the salmon. Move the skillet back into the oven. Roast until the salmon flakes easily, about 3 minutes for a 1-inch fillet. Return the vegetables to the pan during the last minute to warm through. Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2 minutes. Done when fish flakes easily, 145°F.
Place the salmon on a plate next to the roasted potatoes and broccoli. Drizzle the lemon juice over the top.
