Ingredients
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes or Yukon golds or halved white/red baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt divided
- ½ teaspoon black pepper cracked, divided
- 4 skinless salmon fillets
- 2 ½ tablespoons minced garlic divided
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- ⅓ cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 3 asparagus bunches, 18 spears, woody ends removed
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine substitute with ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 lemon sliced to garnish
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400°F | 200°C. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss together potatoes with the oil, ½ tablespoon of garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Spread out in an even layer and roast for 15 minutes until they're just starting to soften and brown.
- Push potatoes to one side of the sheet pan and arrange salmon down the centre. Rub salmon evenly with 1 ½ tablespoons of the minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of parsley. Add the asparagus to the other side of the pan.
- Combine ¼ cup of lemon juice and ¼ cup of the melted butter together and pour the mixture over the salmon and asparagus. Season everything with the remaining salt and pepper.
- Return to oven and continue baking until the potatoes are golden and fork-tender and the salmon is opaque throughout, (about 10 minutes). Optional: broil in the last 2 minutes for charred edges.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the remaining butter, garlic and lemon juice with the wine (or chicken stock). Serve with the salmon, veggies and lemon slices!

Notes
- Tip: Make sure to get your potatoes in the oven first allowing them time to cook before adding your salmon to the tray.
