FAMILY SHEET PAN SALMON DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with foil.
• Trim one end of the lemon, then cut 4 thin rounds; reserve the rest.
• Put the potatoes on the prepared pan and toss them with the lemon rounds, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Turn the potatoes cut-side down and push them towards one end of the sheet pan so that they occupy only about half the pan. Roast for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the broccoli with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons oil and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon paprika in a bowl. Rub the salmon lightly with the remaining tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the curry powder.
• After the potatoes have cooked 10 minutes, spread the broccoli in a single layer on top of them. Put the salmon fillets on the other half of the pan. Return to the oven and roast until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the salmon is just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately squeeze the juice from the reserved lemon over the salmon, broccoli and potatoes.

SHEET-PAN CAJUN SALMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place salmon on a plate, skin side up. Using a sharp knife, make a cut into the skin about 1/8-inch deep, in 3 different places, making sure not to cut all the way through the flesh. In a medium bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the Cajun seasoning, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt. Pour over the salmon to coat it on both sides and set aside to marinate.
• To a rimmed sheet pan, add potatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Toss to coat and roast for about 15 minutes until tender. (Larger potatoes may take longer.)
• As potatoes roast, toss the asparagus with the garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
• Move the potatoes to one end of the pan and place salmon skin side up next to them. Add asparagus in an even layer to the other end of the pan, and roast everything together for 10 to 13 minutes, until the asparagus is tender and the salmon is cooked to taste. If you'd like the skin to be crispy, you can transfer the vegetables from the pan to a serving platter and pop the fish under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot.

STEAMED SALMON AND ASPARAGUS IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
• 2. Place a piece of parchment paper on a 13-by-12-inch baking sheet. Put the potatoes on the sheet and season with 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper. Distribute the butter over the potatoes. Roast in top of oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until done.
• 3. Meanwhile, lay out 4 sheets of parchment (at least 13 by 13 inches) and place 1 fillet on each. Top with the asparagus, scallions, and tarragon. Drizzle with the oil and season with the remaining salt and pepper. Top each fillet with a lemon half, after first squeezing on the juice. Pull the sides of the paper over each fillet, folding several times to seal. Fold and twist the ends to form rectangular parcels. Place them on a sheet pan.
• 4. Bake on lower rack of over for 20 to 25 minutes while the potatoes finish cooking. Place a salmon parcel on each plate and cut open. Serve with the potatoes.
• Tip.
• Although it's not quite as attractive for presentation, you can use aluminum foil in place of the parchment paper.
