minutesIngredients
4 4 salmon fillets
2 lbs 2 baby potatoes, quartered
1 bunch 1 asparagus, ends trimmed
3 tbsp 3 olive oil, divided
1 tbsp 1 dijon mustard
2 tbsp 2 maple syrup
2 cloves 2 garlic, minced
2 tsp 2 salt, divided
1 tsp 1 ground pepper, divided
1/4 tsp 1/4 paprika
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- In a microwave safe dish, microwave whole baby potatoes for 2 minutes to pre-soften. This helps them cook to the perfect texture in the oven. Then cut into quarters.
- Place quartered potatoes on baking sheet and drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper and toss.
- Bake in oven for 20 minutes. While baking, prepare salmon and asparagus.
- Make your sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp olive oil, dijon mustard, maple syrup, garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and paprika.
- Once potatoes have cooked, place asparagus and salmon (skin side down) on baking sheet. Drizzle asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and toss. Brush salmon fillets with half of the sauce. Brush additional sauce on potatoes and asparagus, tossing to blend.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until salmon is fully cooked (may depend on thickness of salmon). If you want to get things nice and crispy, broil on high last 2 minutes.
- Serve immediately or save as meal prep. You can keep cooked fish refrigerated for up to 3 days.
