Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Cook the Asparagus:
Toss trimmed asparagus with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add to the baking sheet with the potatoes (or use a separate sheet) during the last 10–12 minutes of roasting. Roast until tender-crisp. Garnish with grated Parmesan and parsley, if desired.
Grill the Salmon:
Pat salmon fillets dry. Rub with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill salmon 4–5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and caramelized. Finish with chopped herbs and lemon juice.

Plate and Serve:
Arrange grilled salmon, asparagus, and crispy potatoes on a serving platter. Garnish with additional herbs and lemon wedges.

Notes

For an extra crisp on potatoes, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
Swap asparagus with green beans or broccolini if preferred.
Use a meat thermometer to check salmon doneness (145°F / 63°C internal temperature).
