Perfectly seared salmon with a fragrant blend of spices, crispy roasted potatoes with a garlicky herb twist, and tender asparagus topped with melty cheese.[1]

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for salmon)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (for salmon)
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for asparagus)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (for asparagus)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (for asparagus)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (for asparagus)
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for potatoes)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for potatoes)
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Prepare the Salmon: Rub the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets on the same baking sheet as the potatoes (or a separate one if needed).
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are crispy and salmon flakes easily.
  5. Prepare the Cheesy Asparagus: Toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
  6. Remove from oven and top asparagus with ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Return to oven for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.

Notes

Use fresh salmon fillets for best results and ensure potatoes are cut evenly for uniform cooking. For extra crispiness, broil the potatoes for the last 2 minutes. Adjust spice levels to taste for milder or bolder flavor.[1]
