Description

Looking for a quick and balanced weeknight dinner? This flaky sheet pan salmon comes together in 30 minutes! Paired with tender asparagus and roasted potatoes, it’s a balanced meal in one, with minimal cleanup required!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½  pounds baby / little gem potatoes, quartered
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Greek seasoning blend
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 salmon filets
  • 1 small bunch of asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoons butter, softened
  • ½ lemon – thinly sliced
  • Optional: Lemon Dill Sauce with Greek Yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. To a small bowl, add the olive oil, greek seasoning, minced garlic and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
  3. Toss potatoes with half of the olive oil mixture. Add to the lined baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Remove potatoes from the oven and add the asparagus to the pan. Drizzle with a splash of olive oil and a generous sprinkle of salt and place back in the oven to cook for another 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, add the butter to the remaining olive oil mixture and stir to combine, using a fork.
  6. Remove the potatoes and asparagus from the oven and create 4 pockets to nestle the salmon filets into. Brush the tops of the salmon with the butter mixture and finish by adding 1-2 lemon slices to each filet.
  7. Return to the oven to bake for another 6-7 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and is just cooked through. Note: I used wild salmon filets, about an inch thick. If using farmed salmon or a thicker cut, you may need to extend the cooking time by a few minutes.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
