Ingredients
- 4 (6-oz.) Alaska salmon fillets
- 2-lbs. baby potatoes
- 1-lb. asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- kosher salt and pepper, to taste
- sliced lemon, for garnish
Parsley Garlic Salmon Rub
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter or ghee, melted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- While the oven is preheating, place the potatoes in a pot and fill with water so that it just covers them. Bring to a boil and cook for 12 minutes, until parboiled. Drain well.
- In a small bowl, stir parsley, garlic, melted butter or ghee, salt, and pepper together with a fork. Press the rub mixture firmly into the cut side of each salmon filet. Let the salmon rest for about 5 minutes before cooking.
- Place the salmon, parboiled potatoes, and asparagus on the baking sheet. Drizzle the potatoes and asparagus with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil each. Then sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for about 16-18 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with additional parsley and lemon, as desired, and serve immediately.
