Spiced Salmon with Cheesy Asparagus & Garlic Herb Potatoes

A flavorful dinner featuring perfectly spiced salmon, cheesy roasted asparagus, and garlic herb potatoes, ideal for a quick and delicious meal.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or parmesan)
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, thyme) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, flip, then roast another 10-15 minutes until golden.
  2. While potatoes cook, pat salmon dry, rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, remaining garlic, salt, and pepper. Place asparagus on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
  3. Add salmon fillets to the asparagus sheet after 10 minutes, bake for 10-12 more minutes until salmon flakes easily. Sprinkle cheese over asparagus in the last 2 minutes to melt. Serve hot with potatoes.

Notes

For crispier potatoes, parboil them for 5 minutes before roasting. Use fresh herbs for best flavor. Adjust spice levels to taste.
