Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables & Protein
- 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
- ¾ pound fresh asparagus, ends trimmed
- 12 ounces cherry tomatoes on the vine (or regular cherry tomatoes)
- 4 thick salmon filets
- 4 slices fresh lemon
Seasonings & Oil
- Olive oil for drizzling (about 2 tablespoons)
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Seasoned Garlic Butter
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the halved baby potatoes with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Arrange the potatoes cut side down on a large 18×13 inch sheet pan. Roast them for 20 minutes until they are almost tender. If your pan is crowded, use two pans to ensure even cooking.
- Make Seasoned Garlic Butter: While the potatoes roast, prepare the garlic butter by combining melted butter, minced garlic, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ½ teaspoon smoked paprika in a small bowl. Set this flavorful butter aside.
- Add Salmon and Vegetables: After the potatoes have roasted for 20 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side, then arrange the salmon fillets, trimmed asparagus, and cherry tomatoes in a single layer on the sheet pan.
- Brush and Season: Generously brush the salmon, asparagus, and tomatoes with the prepared seasoned garlic butter. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper to taste, and place a slice of fresh lemon on top of each fillet to add brightness and acidity.
- Bake Until Done: Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake everything together for an additional 12 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and tender. If your salmon fillets are thicker, they may require a few extra minutes to cook through.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy this wholesome, flavorful sheet-pan meal!
Notes
- If your sheet pan is crowded, use two pans for even roasting and cooking.
- Adjust cooking time for salmon thickness to ensure it is fully cooked but moist.
- For extra flavor, you can add fresh herbs like dill or parsley as a garnish.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- This recipe works well with other vegetables such as green beans or bell peppers if desired.
