Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss 1/2 cup halved baby potatoes, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp olive oil on a parchment-lined baking sheet; roast for 25 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Step 2: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, season both sides with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat; sear salmon skin-side down for 4 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook 3 minutes more.
- Step 3: Add asparagus to the skillet with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper; cook 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 tbsp chopped dill, and 2 tbsp water; simmer 1 minute until sauce thickens slightly.
