  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 pound baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

¾ teaspoon salt, divided

½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

12 ounces asparagus, trimmed

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

pounds salmon fillet, skinned and cut into 4 portions

4 tablespoons chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Toss halved potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
  3. Toss asparagus with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper.
  4. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, lemon juice, garlic, ¼ teaspoon salt, and remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper.
  5. Push potatoes to one side of the sheet. Place salmon in the center, sprinkle with remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt, and drizzle with garlic-butter mixture. Spread asparagus on the other side.
  6. Roast 10–12 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and vegetables are tender.
  7. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Swap salmon for trout, cod, or halibut.
  • Use broccoli, green beans, or Brussels sprouts instead of asparagus.
  • Add smoked paprika, dill, or chili flakes to the butter sauce.
  • Replace potatoes with cauliflower or zucchini for a low-carb version.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle Parmesan on asparagus before roasting.
