Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub them with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Toss the asparagus with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Lay next to the salmon and sprinkle mozzarella on top.
In a separate bowl, toss the halved potatoes with melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast the salmon and asparagus for 15–18 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and cheese is golden.
Roast the potatoes for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Plate the salmon, cheesy asparagus, and garlic herb potatoes. Garnish potatoes with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Vegetarian option: Replace salmon with extra veggies like zucchini or bell peppers.

For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the salmon rub.

Try Parmesan or cheddar instead of mozzarella for the asparagus.

Use an air fryer for faster cooking.

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C).
