Ingredients
  • 26 ounces boneless salmon (descaled)
  • 22 ounces potatoes (cut into wedges)
  • 10 ounces asparagus (woody ends removed)
  • 2 ounces lemon slices
  • 2 tablespoons garlic (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
Directions
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave 22 oz potatoes on full power for 15 minutes.
  2. Season 26 oz boneless salmon with 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
  3. Over medium-high heat, heat 1 tbsp olive oil until hot. Then, pan-sear 26 oz boneless salmon for 5 minutes on both sides. Sear with the skin side down until golden and crispy, then flip the fish and sear the other side.
  4. Add 3 tbsp unsalted butter, 2 tbsp garlic, and 1 tsp lemon juice in the pan then stir these ingredients around the salmon for 1 minute.
  5. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Leave the remaining sauce on the pan but remove the salmon and lay it onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper alongside 10 oz asparagus. Then drizzle the sauce over these ingredients. Sprinkle 2 tbsp parsley on top and put on the middle shelf of the oven for 12 minutes.
  6. Garnish with parsley and lemon slices, then serve immediately.
