Print Recipe

A simple sheet pan dinner featuring blackened salmon with roasted potatoes and asparagus.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 lb), ends trimmed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6–8 oz each), skin on or off
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
  • 1 1/2 tsp paprika (smoked paprika works great)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne (optional, for heat)
  • Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss potato chunks with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and roast 20 minutes, flipping once halfway.
  2. Pat salmon dry. Rub with olive oil (or melted butter). Mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne (if using), then coat salmon generously on all sides.
  3. Toss asparagus with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Push potatoes to one side of the pan and add asparagus in a single layer.
  4. Place salmon on the sheet pan (or a second pan if crowded). Roast 10–12 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and asparagus is tender-crisp.
  5. For extra crust, broil 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely). Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Adjust cayenne for desired heat level.
  • Use smoked paprika for deeper flavor.
  • Ensure salmon reaches 145°F internally.
