This parsley and garlic-rubbed baked Sockeye salmon recipe is sure to become your new favorite... Makes a main dish + 2 sides with just one pan to clean up!
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.
