Ingredients
Sheet pan meal:
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon coarse black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups halved baby potatoes (or diced potatoes)
- 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 10 ounce salmon fillet (either skin on or skin off is okay)
- 10 to 12 spears asparagus, washed and trimmed (enough for 2 people)
Lemon dill sauce:
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon milk, more if necessary
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. If desired, line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or spray pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Toss potatoes with [2 teaspoons] olive oil and about a third of the salt and pepper mixture. Spread potatoes on prepared sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rub salmon with [1 teaspoon] olive oil. Sprinkle on a third of the salt and pepper mixture.
- When potatoes have cooked for 10 minutes, remove pan from oven, stir potatoes, and add salmon.
- Return to oven and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine asparagus with [1 teaspoon] olive oil and remaining salt and pepper mixture.
- Add asparagus to sheet pan and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until fish is cooked through (we like an internal temperature of 145ºF), potatoes are tender, and asparagus is crisp tender.
- While asparagus is roasting, mix sauce ingredients: yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Thin as needed with milk. Sauce can be prepped ahead of time and refrigerated.
- Serve salmon, potatoes, and asparagus with lemon dill sauce.
Notes
- Thin asparagus spears will take less time to roast than thicker spears.
- Green beans or broccoli can be substituted for asparagus. Since they take longer to cook, put them on the baking pan with the salmon.
- Instead of the salt, pepper, and garlic powder, substitute 1 teaspoon of my all-purpose seasoning.
