Baked Salmon with Potatoes and Asparagus

Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets

• 2 medium potatoes, halved

• 1 bunch of asparagus, tough ends removed

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the potatoes: Place the halved potatoes on a baking tray. Drizzle with half of the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they begin to soften and brown.

3. Season the salmon: While the potatoes are roasting, in a small bowl, mix the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.

4. Add asparagus and salmon: Remove the tray from the oven, push the potatoes to one side, and add the asparagus and salmon fillets to the tray. Dot the top of each salmon fillet with a small amount of butter.

5. Continue baking: Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender.

6. Serve: Plate the salmon with the roasted potatoes and asparagus. Optionally, drizzle with a bit more lemon juice or sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
