Instructions

1. Preheat the oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Roast the potatoes

  1. Toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Spread them on the baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 15 minutes.

3. Prepare the salmon and asparagus

  1. While the potatoes are roasting, season the salmon fillets with olive oil, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper.

4. Add salmon and asparagus to the sheet

  1. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the potatoes to one side.
