Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread onto one side of the pan and roast for 15–20 minutes.
Step 2: Make the Garlic Herb Butter
In a bowl, mix together:
Olive oil or melted butter
Garlic
Lemon zest + juice
Herbs, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings
Brush or spoon the mixture over the salmon fillets.
Step 3: Add Salmon & Asparagus
After potatoes have roasted 15–20 minutes, move them to one side of the pan.
Place the salmon in the center.
Add asparagus to the other side, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and lemon zest.
Pro Tip: Thicker salmon fillets may need to be added earlier; thinner fillets can go in after 20 minutes.
Step 4: Roast Everything Together
Return to oven and roast for 12–15 minutes, or until:
Salmon flakes easily with a fork
Potatoes are golden and crispy
Asparagus is tender-crisp
Optional: Broil for the last 2 minutes for a caramelized salmon top.
Finish & Serve
Garnish and enjoy with:
A sprinkle of fresh herbs
Lemon wedges
Optional: Garlic butter drizzle or herb yogurt sauce
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days.
Reheat in oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
Salmon also tastes great cold over a salad the next day!
