4 from 10 reviews

A wholesome and flavorful sheet pan meal featuring tender salmon fillets, crispy baby potatoes, and fresh asparagus, all roasted together with a honey-Dijon butter glaze and Italian herbs for a perfectly balanced and easy dinner.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Protein and Vegetables

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 pound asparagus (ends trimmed)
  • 2 pounds baby red or gold potatoes (quartered)

Seasonings and Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons Italian herb blend
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Italian herb blend
  • ½ lemon (thinly sliced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the quartered baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons of Italian herb blend. Spread the potatoes evenly on a large sheet pan and bake for 10 minutes to start cooking.
  2. Add salmon and asparagus: After the initial potato roasting, arrange the salmon fillets and trimmed asparagus on the same sheet pan alongside the partially cooked potatoes for a one-pan meal.
  3. Prepare and apply glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of Italian herb blend. Brush this flavorful mixture generously onto each salmon fillet.
  4. Season asparagus and add lemon: Drizzle the asparagus with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place thin lemon slices between the asparagus spears to add brightness and aroma during roasting.
  5. Final baking: Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and asparagus are tender when pierced with a fork and the salmon is fully cooked and flaky.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and immediately serve the salmon, asparagus, and potatoes hot for a delicious and balanced meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the Italian herb blend with your favorite dried herbs such as oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme.
  • For extra crispiness, consider broiling the salmon for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
  • Make sure to trim the asparagus ends before cooking to avoid woody texture.
  • This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings, but use two sheet pans to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
