After the potatoes have cooked 15–20 minutes:
Move them to one side of the pan.
Add the salmon fillets to the center.
Place the asparagus on the other side. Drizzle asparagus with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and lemon zest.
Pro Tip: If your salmon fillets are thick, you can add them a little earlier. For thinner cuts, add them after potatoes have been in for 20 mins.
Step 4: Roast Everything Together
Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for another 12–15 minutes, or until:
Salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork
Potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges
Asparagus is tender with a slight bite
If desired, broil for the last 2 minutes to get that gorgeous caramelized top on the salmon.
Finish & Serve
Serve with:
A sprinkle of fresh herbs
Lemon wedges for squeezing
Optional: A drizzle of garlic butter or a dollop of herb yogurt sauce
Plate it up and enjoy your flavor-packed, nutrient-rich meal that looks straight out of a bistro kitchen.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently in the oven or air fryer to maintain crisp textures.
Salmon also tastes great cold on a salad the next day!
