Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, toss the gold potatoes with a tablespoon of olive oil and season with garlic powder and onion powder (or your favorite seasonings). Spread them out in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes, until they start to soften and develop golden edges.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients until well combined and set aside.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side and place the salmon fillets in the center of the sheet. Arrange the asparagus on the other side. Drizzle half of the sauce over the salmon and lightly toss the asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil. Season the asparagus with salt and pepper.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and plate the salmon, asparagus, and potatoes, spooning remaining sauce over the salmon, if desired.
Notes
If you have extra time, let the salmon sit in a little bit of the sauce for 15-20 minutes before baking to enhance the flavor.
Line the baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Adjust the sauce to your taste! Add a little chili paste or red pepper flakes for a kick or more honey for sweetness.
Make it Gluten-Free! Swap regular soy sauce for tamari or coconut aminos.
