Sheet-Pan Salmon with Asparagus and Potatoes
A complete spring dinner off one pan: baby potatoes get a roasting head start, then dijon-brushed salmon and asparagus join for the final minutes.
Ingredients
serves 4From the garden
- 1 lb asparagus, woody ends snapped off
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
From the pantry
- 1½ lb salmon fillets — 4 fillets
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 lemon — half sliced thin, half in wedges
- 3 tbsp olive oil — divided
- salt — to taste
- black pepper
Steps
tap a step to dim it as you go- Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the halved potatoes with 1.5 tablespoons of the oil, salt, and pepper on a large rimmed sheet pan, turn them cut-side down, and roast 20 minutes until the undersides are golden.
- Meanwhile, stir the dijon, honey, garlic, and a teaspoon of the oil into a quick glaze. Toss the asparagus with the remaining oil, salt, and pepper.
- Push the potatoes to one end of the pan. Lay the salmon fillets in the middle, brush them with the dijon glaze, and top with the lemon slices; spread the asparagus along the other side in a single layer.
- Roast 10–12 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F at the thickest part and the asparagus is crisp-tender — thin spears cook fast, so check at 8 minutes if yours are pencil-thin.
- Serve straight from the pan with the lemon wedges squeezed over everything.
