Let’s keep it simple and straightforward. Here’s what you’ll need for this delightful dish:

- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
Ready to start cooking? Follow these easy steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the salmon and asparagus. In the same bowl, combine the salmon, asparagus, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
- After 15 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven. Push them to the sides of the baking sheet and place the salmon fillets and asparagus in the center.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once everything is perfectly cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with lemon wedges for a fresh, zesty finish.
This is where my heart sings—the moment everything comes together, and the aroma fills the kitchen. It’s like a warm hug on a plate.
