Salmon With Asparagus And Potatoes
For me, this dish is quick, simple, and easy to prepare. The best part? It's baked in one pan, which means the cleanup is minimal, which is why I like to bake this once a week.
Salmon is one of the best seafood dishes that I like to make, it is healthy and goes well with almost any marinate.
When I buy salmon, I like to get a big cut of fresh salmon because it is cost-effective. Also, I find that large cuts cook more evenly, are easier to manage than smaller pieces, and tend to absorb the marinate better as well.
The asparagus and baby potatoes in this recipe complement the salmon beautifully; they not only cook quickly, just like the salmon but taste incredibly well together.
Ah, I almost forgot the best part of this recipe: The salmon and veggies are drizzled with a delicious and flavourful Marinade made with honey, garlic and butter. This delicious and easy Marinade adds so much flavour to the dish; I promise you will love it!
Ingredients For This One Pan Salmon And Veggies
Salmon: I used one large fresh salmon filet, it was about 800g.
Baby potatoes: I chose baby potatoes because they bake fast, like salmon.
Asparagus: It goes so well with salmon; however, you can use green beans, broccoli, brussels sprouts or zucchini instead.
Olive oil: You can also use butter instead of olive oil.
Salt and pepper: To taste.
For The Marinade, I used melted butter, minced garlic, honey and fresh parsley.
Topping: I topped it with lemon slices.

How To Make Baked Salmon With Asparagus And Potatoes
Step One - Bake Salmon And Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 200 °C or 392 °F.
Pat the salmon dry using a paper kitchen towel, then put it in the middle of a baking tray.
Cut the baby potatoes in halves, and then place them around the salmon (photo 1).
Sprinkle the salt and pepper on both the salmon and the potatoes and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes until the potatoes start to soften (photo 1).
Step Two - Add The Asparagus And Bake
Add the asparagus to the tray and drizzle with some olive oil.
Turn the oven heat to 220 °C or 428 F and bake for 10 minutes more.
Pro Tip: I recommend a fork test to check the baked salmon. If it does not flake, bake them for another 5 minutes.
Step Three - Make The Honey Garlic Butter Marinade
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and honey (photo 2).
Pour the mixture into a small bowl, then add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix all the ingredients well (photo 3).
Take the tray out of the oven, drizzle with the garlic honey marinade and serve (photo 4).
Expert Tips!
- Grease the pan sheet before using it.
- Make sure to preheat your oven so that the salmon bakes at the proper temperature.
- You may cut the whole salmon into individual filet portions if you like.
- Store the salmon in an airtight container in the fridge to keep it fresh for 3-4 days.
Substitutions and Variations
Sheet pan salmon and veggies is a versatile dish that you can customize according to the availability of ingredients.
You don’t like honey in your baked salmon? Add brown sugar instead. In case you don’t have access to fresh fillets, you can use frozen fillets.
Serving Suggestions
If you want to boost up your dish a little, put some Turmeric Rice on the side. But these roasted salmon fillets and vegetables are amazing on their own.
You can also serve this dish with Mushroom Fried Rice, Angel Hair Pasta Recipe, Marmite Pasta or Pasta with Breadcrumbs.
I like to serve this dish with Elote Corn Salad, Malfouf Salad or Classic Taco Salad.
What Is The Proper Temperature To Bake Salmon?
The FDA advises baking fish at an internal temperature of 145°F.
I prefer 200°C or 392°F in the case of sheet pan baked salmon. It is an initial temperature. You can slow it down at 180°C after 10-15 minutes if you like.
