26 oz boneless salmon descaled
22 oz potatoes cut into wedges
10 oz asparagus woody ends removed
2 oz lemon slices
2 tbsp garlic minced
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbsp parsley chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave 22 oz potatoes on full power for 15 minutes.

Season 26 oz boneless salmon with 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.

Over medium-high heat, heat 1 tbsp olive oil until hot. Then, pan-sear salmon for 5 minutes on both sides. Sear with the skin side down until golden and crispy, then flip the fish and sear the other side.

Add 3 tbsp unsalted butter, 2 tbsp garlic, and 1 tsp lemon juice in the pan then stir these ingredients around the salmon for 1 minute.

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Leave the remaining sauce on the pan but remove the salmon and lay it onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper alongside 10 oz asparagus. Then drizzle the sauce over these ingredients. Sprinkle 2 tbsp parsley on top and put on the middle shelf of the oven for 12 minutes.

Garnish with parsley and lemon slices, then serve immediately.
