Ingredients
- 1 pound small new potatoes, scrubbed clean and halved
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 pound medium asparagus, trimmed and sliced on the diagonal, 1-inch long pieces
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1 strip of lemon zest
- 1 small garlic clove, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 salmon steaks (10 oz each), cut about 1-inch thick

Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F.
-
In a large, shallow baking dish (10×14 inch) coat the potatoes with olive oil.
-
Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, in the baking dish and roast for 10-12 minutes, until the potatoes begin to brown on the bottom.
-
Turn the potatoes over and roast another 10 minutes until browned on top.
-
Remove the baking dish from the oven.
-
In a medium bowl, toss the asparagus with the chopped dill, lemon zest, garlic, salt and season with pepper to taste.
-
Add the asparagus mixture to the potatoes and stir to combine.
-
Push the vegetables to the side of the dish to make room for the salmon steaks.
-
Return the baking dish to the oven and roast the salmon and asparagus for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through.
-
If you want, remove the skin and center bones, and arrange on individual plates before serving. Garnish with fresh dill and lemon wedges.
