Description
A restaurant-quality meal featuring flaky salmon in a rich garlic butter sauce, served alongside crispy roasted baby potatoes and tender asparagus topped with melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Place salmon fillets on a separate baking sheet, skin-side down, and brush generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- After 20 minutes, remove potatoes from oven. Push potatoes to one side of the sheet. Add asparagus to the other side, drizzle with remaining olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Return to oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove baking sheet again. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the asparagus. Place salmon in the oven on a separate rack. Bake everything for 10-12 minutes, until salmon is cooked through and asparagus is tender.
- Serve salmon alongside potatoes and asparagus. Garnish with fresh parsley and drizzle with any remaining garlic butter from the salmon tray.
