Ingredients
- 1 lb. baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, divided
- 12 oz asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/4 lbs. salmon fillet, skinned and cut into 4 portions
- 4 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Bring the protein to room temperature 20 to 30 minutes before cooking for even doneness.
- 2
Pat the protein dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs or spices listed in the ingredients.
- 3
Heat an oven-safe skillet or roasting pan with a thin layer of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the protein on all sides until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- 4
Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches the safe target — 145°F for pork loin and beef tenderloin (medium-rare), 165°F for turkey, 145°F for salmon and halibut.
- 5
Brush with any glaze or sauce in the last 5 minutes of cooking for flavor and shine.
- 6
Remove from the oven and let the protein rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This locks in the juices.
- 7
Serve with your preferred sides.
