Description
Garlic Herb Salmon with Asparagus and Potatoes is a flavorful one-pan meal made with tender salmon fillets, crispy baby potatoes, and roasted asparagus. It’s seasoned with a zesty garlic herb butter and roasted to perfection for a healthy, balanced dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley, dill, thyme) or 1 tsp dried herbs
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of herbs. Spread on baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix melted butter with garlic, lemon juice, and herbs.
- Remove tray, push potatoes to one side, and add asparagus and salmon fillets.
- Brush garlic herb butter over salmon and vegetables. Season with additional salt and pepper.
- Return to oven and roast for 12–15 minutes until salmon flakes easily and asparagus is tender.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra herbs and lemon slices if desired.
Notes
- Swap asparagus for green beans or broccoli.
- Use sweet potatoes or fingerling potatoes for variation.
- Add cherry tomatoes and olives for a Mediterranean twist.
- For deeper flavor, add smoked paprika to the butter mixture.
- Reheat in the oven to keep salmon moist—avoid microwaving if possible.
