1 Start Potatoes and Prepare Ingredients
Halve potatoes. Quarter if larger than a ping-pong ball.
Place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave covered until tender, 4-6 minutes.Carefully remove from microwave.While potatoes microwave, trim woody ends off asparagus.Stem and tear dill. -
2 Assemble the Salmon and Vegetables
Pat salmon dry. Place salmon, skin-side down, on one side of prepared baking sheet. Top flesh side with Cajun seasoning (use less if spice-averse), 1/4 tsp. salt, a pinch of pepper, and 1 tsp. olive oil.
Place microwaved potatoes and asparagus on empty side of baking sheet. Potatoes will be hot! Use caution. Reserve bowl; no need to wipe clean.Top vegetables with 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and 2 tsp. olive oil. Massage oil and seasoning into vegetables, then evenly top with cheese. -
3 Roast Meal and Make Lemon Brown Butter
Roast in hot oven until vegetables are tender and salmon reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 10-15 minutes.
If asparagus are thinner than a pencil, check for doneness sooner.Carefully remove from oven.While salmon and vegetables roast, place a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Add butter to hot pan and stir occasionally until butter smells "nutty," turns golden, and brown flecks appear, 2-3 minutes.Remove from burner. Transfer butter to reserved bowl and stir in lemon juice until combined. Set aside. -
4 Dress Arugula and Finish Dish
In a mixing bowl, combine vinegar , 2 tsp. olive oil, half the dill (reserve remaining for garnish), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add arugula and gently toss to coat.
