Likely he did cook it often enough, just not when mom was around, lest she get ideas about cooking salmon herself. Just a theory of course, I didn’t stick around to see the outcome of this particular chat…
This salmon recipe comes together quickly in the oven, all in one sheet pan or roasting pan. You roast the potatoes first, because they take much longer than the fish and asparagus to cook. Then you toss the asparagus in with the potatoes, move them over to the side of the pan, add the salmon and cook everything together until the salmon is cooked through.
Super easy with wonderful flavors. Perfect for a midweek dinner!
