Olive & Mango Roasted Salmon with Asparagus, Potatoes, and Cherry Tomatoes Recipe

Introduction

This Olive & Mango-inspired salmon sheet pan dinner is a vibrant, easy-to-make meal perfect for busy weeknights. Featuring tender salmon, crispy baby potatoes, fresh asparagus, and juicy cherry tomatoes, it’s both flavorful and nutritious.

Ingredients

• 4 (6 oz | 170 g) salmon fillets
• 1 pound asparagus ends trimmed
• 1½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes (on or off the vine)
• 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 teaspoons seasoning blend of choice plus ½ teaspoon extra (lemon pepper suggested)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon sriracha or any garlic chili sauce
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• Lemon slices and fresh chopped parsley for serving

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line or grease a large sheet pan with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Step 2: Toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and 2 teaspoons of your seasoning blend. Spread evenly on the sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through for even cooking.
3. Step 3: While the potatoes bake, prepare the salmon sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, sriracha, honey, Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon of the seasoning blend, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Brush this sauce generously onto the salmon fillets.
4. Step 4: After the potatoes have baked for 20 minutes, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side and arrange the salmon fillets, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes on the other side of the pan.
5. Step 5: Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the asparagus and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
6. Step 6: Return the pan to the oven and cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until the asparagus is fork-tender and the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. For extra color or crispness, broil for 1-2 minutes if desired.
7. Step 7: Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and lemon slices. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over everything for a bright finish.

Tips & Variations

• Use fingerling potatoes if baby potatoes are unavailable. Parboiling them beforehand can speed up cooking time.
• Swap sriracha for your favorite hot sauce or omit for a milder flavor.
• Try other seasoning blends like Italian herbs or smoked paprika for a different twist.
• To make this dish gluten-free and dairy-free, substitute melted butter with olive oil or a plant-based alternative.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through. Salmon can become dry if overheated, so use low heat and cover loosely while reheating.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen salmon fillets for this recipe?

Yes, but make sure to thaw them completely and pat dry before preparing. This ensures even cooking and better texture.

How do I know when the salmon is cooked?

The salmon is done when its flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.

Seafood

• 4 (6 oz | 170 g) salmon fillets

Vegetables

• 1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed
• 1½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes (on or off the vine)

Oils and Fats

• 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 tablespoon melted butter

Seasonings and Sauces

• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 teaspoons seasoning blend of choice plus ½ teaspoon extra (lemon pepper used in this recipe)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon sriracha or any garlic chili sauce

Garnishes

• Lemon slices for serving
• Fresh chopped parsley for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line or spray a large sheet pan with foil or parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
2. Toss Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and 2 teaspoons of your chosen herb seasoning blend (lemon pepper recommended). Spread them out evenly on one side of the prepared sheet pan.
3. Roast Potatoes: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake the potatoes for 20 minutes. Halfway through, give the pan a shake to ensure even cooking.
4. Prepare Salmon Sauce: While the potatoes roast, in a small bowl whisk together melted butter, sriracha, honey, Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon of the seasoning blend, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This sauce will glaze the salmon and add depth of flavor.
5. Brush Salmon: Remove the sheet pan from the oven carefully. Push the roasted potatoes to one side and arrange the salmon fillets, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes on the other side. Brush each salmon fillet generously with the prepared sauce.
6. Season Vegetables: Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the asparagus and cherry tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring that the vegetables are well coated.
7. Finish Roasting: Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the asparagus is tender and the salmon is cooked through (the flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork). For added char or color, broil for a couple of minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley and lemon slices. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the entire dish before serving for bright, zesty flavor.

Notes

• You can substitute the seasoning blend with your favorite herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or an Italian blend.
• If you prefer milder heat, reduce the amount of sriracha or use a milder chili sauce.
• Make sure to trim the tough ends off the asparagus to ensure even cooking.
• For crisper potatoes, you can parboil them briefly before roasting.
• This recipe can be easily doubled for larger groups using a bigger sheet pan or roasting in batches.
