Roasted Potatoes

Chef’s Choice Vegetable

Method

Preparing the Salmon

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the salmon

    Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top.

Making the Lemon Herb Butter

  1. 3

    Combine ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter, lemon zest, fresh dill, and garlic powder until well combined.

  2. 4

    Top salmon

    Spoon the lemon herb butter mixture over the salmon fillets.

Preparing the Roasted Potatoes

  1. 5

    Prepare potatoes

    Cut the baby potatoes in half and place them in a bowl.

  2. 6

    Season potatoes

    Drizzle with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. 7

    Roast potatoes

    Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet and place them in the oven alongside the salmon. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and tender.

Cooking the Vegetable

  1. 8

    Prepare asparagus

    Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet.

  2. 9

    Season asparagus

    Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat.

  3. 10

    Roast asparagus

    Place the asparagus in the oven during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking time for the salmon and potatoes, until tender.

Final Steps

  1. 11

    Check for doneness

    Ensure the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  2. 12

    Serve

    Plate the salmon with the roasted potatoes and asparagus, and drizzle any remaining lemon herb butter on top of the salmon before serving.
