Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- 2In a large bowl, toss the quartered new potatoes with 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
- 3Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes. While potatoes roast, prepare the salmon and asparagus. In a separate bowl, toss asparagus with the remaining 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- 4After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Arrange the asparagus on the other side of the baking sheet. Place the salmon fillets among the vegetables. Drizzle salmon with fresh lemon juice and top each fillet with a few lemon slices.
- 5Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 12-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp. Cooking time will vary based on salmon thickness.
- 6Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen salmon or asparagus?
Yes, you can use frozen salmon (thawed) and frozen asparagus. If using frozen asparagus, add it directly to the baking sheet with the salmon, as it cooks faster than fresh.
How do I know when the salmon is cooked?
Salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and its internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Be careful not to overcook, or it will become dry.
What other herbs could I use?
Dill and parsley are excellent choices that pair well with salmon and lemon. You could also try oregano or a touch of red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
