→ Main Ingredients

4 salmon fillets, skin removed
02 -
18 asparagus spears (about 3 bunches), trimmed
03 -
1 pound baby potatoes or fingerlings, sliced in halves
→ Garlic Butter Sauce
04 -
2½ tablespoons minced garlic, split up
05 -
2 tablespoons dry white wine or ¼ cup chicken broth (low sodium)
06 -
½ cup melted butter, unsalted
07 -
⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
08 -
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
→ Seasonings & Extras
09 -
1 lemon cut into slices for garnish
10 -
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper, split into two parts
11 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 -
1½ teaspoons salt, split up
# Steps:
01 -
Fire up your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drizzle olive oil on baby potatoes and combine with ½ tsp salt, ½ tbsp garlic, and ¼ tsp pepper. Spread these on a baking sheet and roast them until they’re slightly soft and golden, around 15 minutes.
02 -
Shift the roasted potatoes to the side of the tray. Place salmon fillets in the middle, rub with 1½ tbsp garlic and parsley. Lay asparagus spears on the opposite side of the tray.
03 -
Blend ¼ cup melted butter and ¼ cup lemon juice, then pour it over the salmon and asparagus. Sprinkle remaining salt and pepper onto the tray's contents.
04 -
Return the tray to the oven. Bake until the salmon is flaky and potatoes are fork-soft, about 10 minutes. If you like, broil for 2 minutes to get those crispy edges.
05 -
Mix leftover butter, garlic, white wine (or broth), and lemon juice in a little bowl while the tray bakes.
06 -
Serve the salmon and veggies straight from the oven, drizzling them with your sauce and finishing everything off with lemon slices.
# Notes:
01 -
Start roasting the potatoes first to give them a head start before adding the rest.
02 -
Cooking this all on one tray means super easy cleanup for busy nights.
03 -
To make sure your salmon cooks evenly, try using fillets that are about the same size.
