Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill or thyme (optional)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix melted butter with garlic, parsley, dill (if using), lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create garlic herb sauce.
- After 20 minutes, add salmon fillets and asparagus to the pan with the potatoes.
- Brush salmon and vegetables generously with garlic herb sauce.
- Return to oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Notes
- Swap asparagus with green beans, broccoli, or zucchini if desired.
- Use sweet potatoes instead of baby potatoes for a flavor twist.
- Sprinkle Parmesan over asparagus before baking for added richness.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes to butter for a spicy version.
- Avoid overcooking salmon to keep it tender—145°F internal temp is ideal.
