- 500 grams (about 1 pound) baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Cheesy Asparagus:
- 500 grams (about 1 pound) asparagus, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 50 grams (about 1.75 ounces) grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Marinate the Salmon
Start by preparing the marinade for the salmon. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried dill. Add salt and pepper according to your taste. Coat the salmon fillets generously with this marinade, and let them rest for 15-20 minutes to soak up the flavors.
2. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C) in preparation for roasting the potatoes.
3. Prepare the Roasted Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure the potatoes are well coated. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
4. Grill the Salmon
While the potatoes are roasting, heat a grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill. Cook each side for 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked through and develops a nice char on the outside.
5. Prepare the Cheesy Asparagus
As the salmon cooks, it’s time to prepare the asparagus. Arrange the trimmed asparagus on another baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes, alongside the potatoes. After 10 minutes, sprinkle the grated cheese over the asparagus. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve
Once everything is cooked, it’s time to plate your meal. Arrange the grilled salmon, roasted potatoes, and cheesy asparagus on each plate. For a final touch, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the salmon. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, well-balanced meal.
