Description

Tender salmon fillets roasted with garlic butter, fresh lemon, crispy baby potatoes, and asparagus for a comforting and flavorful dinner that comes together easily on one pan.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
  • 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large lemon, sliced and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika in a mixing bowl.
  3. Spread the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
  4. Move the potatoes slightly to the sides and place the asparagus and salmon fillets onto the baking sheet.
  5. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Spoon the garlic butter mixture over the salmon and vegetables, then top the salmon with lemon slices.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for 12 to 15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and the potatoes are golden.
  8. Sprinkle fresh parsley over everything before serving.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Pat the salmon dry before seasoning for better texture.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to help the vegetables roast properly.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
