- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- ½ lemons (juice only)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 355F / 180C.
- Roast the potatoes in a little olive oil on a sheet pan / baking tray for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan, then add the garlic. Cook for a couple of minutes.
- Add the lemon, sweet chili sauce and chopped parsley and stir. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Remove the sheet pan with the potatoes on from the oven and add the asparagus and tomatoes.
- Tuck the salmon in amongst the vegetables, then drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the salmon. Grind plenty of salt and pepper over the whole pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes until the salmon is just cooked and the potatoes are tender.
- Serve drizzled with the lovely sauce and with fresh crusty bread.

Notes
- Keep the potatoes fairly small (cut small potatoes into halves or even thirds) so that they are tender within the cooking time.
- You can (surprisingly) make this ahead. Simply reheat it by covering with aluminium foil and popping in the oven at 325F/140C for 20 minutes.
