Let’s dive into the process, step by step, to ensure your kitchen adventure is as smooth as possible.

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mix evenly over the salmon fillets.
3. Place the salmon on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the asparagus next to the salmon on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the asparagus.
5. In a large bowl, combine the baby potatoes with minced garlic, butter, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread these out on the opposite side of the baking sheet.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the potatoes are tender.
7. Once out of the oven, squeeze lemon juice over the salmon and sprinkle the parsley over everything for a fresh finish.
