Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed small
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large lemon, sliced into rounds
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Wash your asparagus and snap off the woody ends. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small half-inch cubes. Cutting them small ensures they cook at the same rate as the salmon and asparagus.
- Place the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet, drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and spread them in a single layer. Roast for 10 minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients. Remove the pan, move the potatoes to one side, and place the salmon fillets and asparagus on the other side. Drizzle everything with the remaining oil, minced garlic, and paprika.
- Place the lemon slices on top of the salmon fillets and the asparagus. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes. The salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork, and the asparagus should be tender-crisp. If you prefer your salmon more well-done, add another 2-3 minutes to the timer.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish the entire dish with freshly chopped parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
