Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the salmon fillets dry and rub them with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Toss the asparagus with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Lay it next to the salmon and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- In a separate bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread them on another baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast the salmon and asparagus for 15–18 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily and the cheese is melted and golden.
- Roast the potatoes for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Plate the salmon, cheesy asparagus, and garlic herb potatoes. Garnish the potatoes with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Swap mozzarella with Parmesan for a nuttier flavor.
- Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze to the asparagus for a tangy twist.
- Use smoked paprika for a deeper, smoky flavor.
