Ingredients

Seafood:

  • 15 oz Salmon fillets approx. three 5 oz fillets, skin-on or off

Vegetables:

  • 12 oz Sweet potato about 1 medium, peeled and sliced into ⅛-inch thick rounds
  • 9 oz Fresh green beans ends trimmed
  • 4.5 oz Fresh asparagus spears woody ends trimmed
  • ¼ medium Red onion thinly sliced

Lemon-Herb Dressing:

  • 2 ¼ tbsp Avocado oil or Extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice plus 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
  • 2 large Garlic cloves finely minced
  • ½ tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Fresh dill chopped
  • tsp Fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp Freshly ground black pepper

For Topping:

  • 3-4 thin slices of lemon

Instructions

  • Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) with the rack in the middle position. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix Lemon-Herb Dressing: In a small bowl, vigorously whisk together the oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, garlic powder, chopped fresh dill, the salt, and black pepper until emulsified. Measure out and reserve 1 ½ tablespoons of this dressing for the green vegetables later.
  • Marinate Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour about half of the remaining (unreserved) dressing over the salmon, coating the fillets evenly. Let them marinate in the refrigerator while you prep the vegetables.
  • Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the sweet potato rounds on the baking sheet. Drizzle the last bit of the unreserved dressing over them and toss to coat. Arrange them in a single layer on one side of the pan. Bake for 12-14 minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Add Green Vegetables: Remove the pan from the oven. Push the sweet potatoes to the side to create room. Add the green beans, asparagus, and red onion. Drizzle the reserved 1 ½ tablespoons of dressing over these greens and toss lightly. Spread everything into an even layer.
  • Second Bake: Return the pan to the oven for 6-8 minutes, until the green vegetables are starting to become tender-crisp.
  • Add Salmon: Remove the pan again. Clear a space in the center among the vegetables. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down. Top each fillet with a lemon slice.
  • Final Bake: Bake for 12-18 minutes.
  • Note: Oven temperatures vary, so begin checking for doneness at the 12-minute mark to prevent overcooking. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 135-140°F (57-60°C). The sweet potatoes should be tender and the greens vibrant.
  • Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately, ensuring each plate gets a portion of salmon and a mix of all vegetables.

Notes

  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Herbs: If you enjoy fresh herbs, sprinkle extra fresh dill or parsley over the finished dish before serving for a pop of color.
  • Acidity: If you prefer a sharper flavor profile, squeeze a fresh wedge of lemon over the fish right before eating.
