Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet, skin-on
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 pound asparagus spears, trimmed
• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush the marinade generously over the fillets, ensuring they are well-coated. Reserve a small amount of marinade for basting later.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, toss the asparagus spears and halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables evenly around the salmon on the baking sheet.

Step 5

Drizzle the melted butter over the vegetables for added flavor.

Step 6

Bake the salmon and vegetables in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste the salmon with the reserved marinade halfway through the cooking time.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the salmon fillets alongside the roasted vegetables, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh dill or parsley, if desired.
