Print Recipe

Perfectly seared salmon glazed with garlic butter, served with crispy roasted baby potatoes and cheesy baked asparagus for a delicious and balanced meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets (skin-on or off)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. Lay asparagus on a separate sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 10–12 minutes. In the last 2 minutes, sprinkle with shredded cheese and return to the oven until melted.
  4. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Sear salmon for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  6. In the final minute, add butter and garlic to the skillet, spooning the melted garlic butter over the salmon.
  7. Plate salmon with roasted potatoes and cheesy asparagus. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can swap mozzarella or cheddar for your favorite melting cheese.
  • Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the salmon for a good sear.
  • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and even roasting.
