Garlic Butter Salmon with Roasted Potatoes & Cheesy Asparagus

Print Recipe

Perfectly pan-seared salmon fillets glazed with garlic butter, paired with golden roasted baby potatoes and tender asparagus spears topped with melted cheese. A balanced, indulgent, and nourishing meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Salmon:
  • 2 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
  • For the Roasted Potatoes:
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • For the Cheesy Asparagus:
  • 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Italian blend cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once halfway.
  3. Meanwhile, place asparagus on another tray, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 12–15 minutes. In the last 5 minutes, sprinkle with cheese and return to oven until melted.
  4. For the salmon, season fillets with paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side down (if using) for 4–5 minutes, then flip. Add butter and garlic to the pan.
  6. Spoon the melted garlic butter over the salmon as it finishes cooking (about 3–4 more minutes). Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
  7. Serve salmon with roasted potatoes and cheesy asparagus, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to check salmon doneness (145°F internal temp).
  • Swap cheese for Parmesan or Gruyère for variety.
  • Baby carrots or green beans can replace asparagus if desired.
