Asparagus and Salmon

Preheat the oven to 200°C (top and bottom heat). Place a piece of aluminum foil on the baking sheet and brush it with a little oil.

Thoroughly wash the asparagus, gently pat dry, and trim off the woody ends. Lay the asparagus spears side by side on a baking sheet, then drizzle with about 1 teaspoon of oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss or brush to coat evenly.

Rinse the salmon under cold water and pat dry. Place it skin-side down (if it has skin) on the prepared foil. Rub the top with about 1 teaspoon of salt and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze one half over the asparagus and salmon, and place the other half on the baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the salmon is cooked through.

Potatoes

Meanwhile, cut the cooked potatoes in half or thirds. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the potatoes for about 3 to 5 minutes. Lightly salt them and turn once the bottoms are golden brown, then continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes over medium heat until the potatoes are crispy all around.

Serve

Use two forks to flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces. Divide the potatoes, salmon, and asparagus between two plates, and drizzle with the juice from the warm lemon halves.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Potato Prepping Perfection 🥔
Par-boil new potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting to ensure they're crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.
Salmon Skin Technique 🐟
Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet pan to create a crispy, protective layer that keeps the fish moist and prevents sticking.
Asparagus Arrangement Magic 🥬
Trim asparagus ends and arrange them in a single layer, ensuring they're not overcrowded to achieve perfect roasting and caramelization.
Lemon Zest Secret 🍋
Grate fresh lemon zest over the salmon and asparagus just before serving to add a bright, aromatic finish that elevates the entire dish.
Even Cooking Hack 🔥
Let salmon and ingredients come to room temperature before roasting to ensure even cooking and prevent dry edges.
