Ingredients  

  • 4 salmon fillets about 5 to 6 ounces each
  • 1 1/2 lb baby potatoes halved
  • 1 bunch asparagus trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 lemon zest and juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • lemon wedges and chopped fresh parsley optional, to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
  • Toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt and pepper. Spread them across one side of the prepared pan.

  • Roast the potatoes for 10 minutes to give them a head start.
  • While the potatoes roast, place the salmon fillets in a mixing bowl. Add the melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, a pinch of garlic powder and a light sprinkle of salt and pepper, then toss gently to coat.
  • Remove the pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side, place the salmon fillets on the pan and arrange the asparagus alongside them.

  • Drizzle the asparagus with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season it lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon any remaining lemon butter marinade from the bowl over the salmon.
  • Return the pan to the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the potatoes are tender.
  • Optional: broil for 2 minutes at the end for extra colour and caramelisation.

Notes

Nutrition values are an estimate. Roast the potatoes alone for 10 minutes before the salmon and asparagus join them, or the potatoes will still be hard. Pat the fillets dry before coating them, especially if they were frozen. Use garlic powder rather than fresh garlic, which scorches at this temperature. Broil for 2 minutes at the end for extra colour.
