# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 boneless salmon fillets
02 -
3 bundles of asparagus (around 18 spears), trimmed ends
03 -
1 pound baby potatoes (Yukon gold or fingerling), split in half
→ Garlic Butter Sauce
04 -
⅓ cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
05 -
½ cup melted butter, unsalted
06 -
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, fresh
07 -
2½ tablespoons finely chopped garlic, split
08 -
2 tablespoons dry white wine (or ¼ cup chicken broth, not salty)
→ Seasonings & Extras
09 -
1 lemon, cut into slices for topping
10 -
½ teaspoon cracked pepper, split
11 -
1½ teaspoons salt, divided
12 -
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the potatoes on a big baking pan, drizzle with oil, sprinkle on ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and toss together with ½ tablespoon garlic. Spread them out evenly and roast for about 15 minutes to get them tender and slightly browned.
02 -
Move the cooked potatoes to one side of the baking sheet. Lay the salmon fillets in the center, then coat them with 1½ tablespoons of garlic and 2 tablespoons of parsley. Position the asparagus on the opposite side of the pan.
03 -
In a bowl, combine ¼ cup of butter and ¼ cup of lemon juice. Pour over salmon and asparagus. Sprinkle the rest of the salt and pepper across everything.
04 -
Pop the tray back into the oven. Bake until the potatoes are crisp and soft and the salmon is completely cooked through, about 10 minutes. If you'd like crispier edges, broil for a couple of minutes at the end—it’s optional.
05 -
While the baking tray is in the oven, whisk together the remaining butter, garlic, lemon juice, and either wine or chicken broth in a small dish.
06 -
Serve the baked salmon and roasted veggies right from the oven, drizzle the prepared sauce on top, and finish with those pretty lemon slices for garnish.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Give the potatoes a head start in the oven before adding the salmon for perfect timing.
02 -
Cleanup's super easy with this all-in-one-pan meal. Great when you're short on time.
03 -
You’ll get the best results if all salmon pieces are about the same thickness—cooks more evenly!
